While it didn't have quite the impact of the first reading when I had no idea who the antagonist was, I still enjoyed this clever Christie mystery. The story is oft copied these days but none of them seem to manage to do it with such deft directness. The character sketches are just that, brief & to the point, telling everything you need to know about these ten people in a few brief lines.

It's a classic for a reason. This locked-room mystery thriller is the grandmother of all the island thrillers we're currently seeing. And the narration by Dan Stevens was :chef's kiss: ...more

Didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. I think I had just hyped it up too much. I wanted more clues and chances to figure it out. It all happened so quickly. Just death after death after death.
