Wow! Why have I never read Agatha Christie before? This book was really fun. Each character was unique. Hercule Poirot was intelligent and guided me through the story with a simplicity that I found interesting for a mystery novel protagonist. I listened to the audio version and I am really glad that I did because each character was voiced with a distinctive voice and accent. I could have never done their voices justice.
There are already more than 18,000 reviews on this book, so I don’t have much to say! Read it if you haven’t and reread it if you’ve only read it once.

There was no point to writing the three hundred plus pages!!!

I believe I saw this movie many years ago.
BTW, it is IMPOSSIBLE to guess who the killer was cause the clues were ridic.
