This one was not my favorite. It took awhile to get going, Poirot doesn't show up until just after the 25% mark, and I had a hard time wrapping my head around the cast of characters for the longest time. Despite all that, I didn't hate it, and it was a fast read.
This is the third Agatha Christie novel I’ve read, and I’ve definitely passed the threshold from wary curiosity to fandom. The first two (And Then There Were None; Orient Express) were so famous that even a detective mystery averse reader like me knew of them, but I’d never heard of this one. It was...

When I'm in the mood for a mystery novel, I find that I can never go wrong by choosing an Agatha Christie, and Hercule Poirot is generally my detective of choice (though I have enjoyed some Miss Marple mysteries, too).
