This is one of Christie's best - full of interesting characters, many of whom I'll admit are rather unlikable at first. As the story develops we get to know some of the minor characters better and they are really fun to get to know. (Christie often handles minor characters so well I wish she'd written stories that feature them. That's true here.) The mystery is very puzzling, with several different threads weaving together. And I enjoy Colonel Race, who meets up with Poirot and helps him detect.

One of my favorite Christie's yet

Ah, even better than the Orient Express! Colonel Race is vastly superior to Colonel Hastings and no one will ever convince me otherwise.
