Elliptical Rating: 4 / 5
Note: I received a promotional copy through the First Reads program.
I've read several by Christie and this one holds up pretty well against the others. It's certainly one of the faster-paced novels I've read by her. In the absence of a dominant detective (Poirot, Marple) she does a good job of juggling the different characters. The solution makes sense. The ending is cute, but a bit silly.
(I don't like the cover, as there are seven suspects. Not a factor in the rating though.)
There must be a movie from this book as the characters are from a film-Bill Nighy is the man on the upper right. This sounds good...I like a good mystery
