Good story but not great. Wanted to read it before seeing the movie. I definitely want to read more Agatha Christie.
Wow this was a great book. So simple in one sense and so cleaver in another.

Terrific mystery that you can't get out of your head after finishing. No wonder it is considered one of the greatest mystery novels of all time! Highly recommend to all!

Smart, funny, well plotted with an ending that was a bit abrupt for my taste. My first Christie but not the last.
