Diana Ragsdale Sorry for posting so late guys. I'll start off by saying that I enjoy the author's writing style and the way she describes the characters. If I remember correctly, one lady was "ugly as sin" lol.

I've only read the first chapter but I read it twice :'/ I don't know why but when I'm reading mystery novels I tend to reread the same chapter again and just read through the book really slowly to catch any details xP
I'll try and get up to-date by tomorrow.

Kelly Rose | 60 comments I also like the writing style. Ha, "ugly as sin" I thought that was funny too, but then I was really curious as to what she must look like. Also I didn't know Hercule Poirot was in other mystery novels as well, and so many too! I'm going to have to start reading these haha.

I can't believe Kenneth Branagh plays Poirot in the movie, he's the last person I would have thought they'd cast! Nothing against him or anything, it's just so strange. In fact, I've just been looking at the cast of the movie and WAT? Definitely not how I pictured them! xD

At first I thought Mary Debenham was the murderer but the death blows and all, it seems unlikely. But Poirot mentions Mrs. Armstrong having a sister... But then Colonel Andrenyi perks my interest too...
I wish there were fewer suspects...

I know, I didn't even know he acted, I only knew him as the director of Thor and Cinderella. I was just so amazed by his mustaches in the movie lol. I still find it strange that Johnny Depp was cast as Ratchett. Definitely not the first person I'd peg for the role.

I'm not sure what to say of the suspects because, so far, the details are the same as the movie. I need to stop watching movies and read the books first haha.

Have you watched the movie? So, you know who it is? My dad watched the movie last year in a plane, but I silenced him (not, like killed him :P) before he could talk about it.

Yes but I so wish I didn't know. Lol! I'm the same, I refuse to hear spoilers of any kind about anything.
