I can see why this is her best selling/most popular mystery. It's absolutely fantastic. Even having watched the most recent adaptation, and therefore knowing the 'who', I was still on the edge of my seat while reading. The atmosphere, the pacing, the setting were all spot on.

I love the new covers of these books. They're fantastically adorable & unassuming considering the type of thriller mysteries these books actually are. This is my first Agatha Christie book. I had read some pieces of her work in English class in high school, I believe but never the full story. Bu...
