This was my first Agatha Christie novel (and apparently it's the best-selling crime book of all time??), and I was kind of reluctant to start it. I don't particularly like "olde English" type of media, but I thought I'd stretch myself and give it a whirl.
I'm so glad I did.
While the beginning takes a bit to get into the action, but once it starts, wow! Also, the philistine I am, when the main plot started (ahem, the murders), I was all, "This is just like CLUE!" But of course. This is the murde ...more
