It’s so ironic how something can be utterly surprising and not at the same time. This was my first Hercule Poirot novel and it really reminded me why I love the mystery genre. Sometimes we really don’t know someone until we look at the small details and get little ideas.

I GOT GOT! It is a wild ride for sure! Christie strings you along just like Poirot, gives you all the facts, tells you about Poirot’s stance of not fully believing anyone (a stance you as a reader should take), and then shows you in the end in a very simple exposition how all the details she gave you fit together in an unexpected ending. 10/10 book.

I’ve not read a book for recreation in quite some time, so when I started reading this book from the 1920s, I wasn’t sure how I’d enjoy reading it. This book as ignited a love of reading in me that I will continue in my search of more incredible murder mystery and thriller books!
