More than forty years I've been reading, yet I'd never read an Agatha Christie mystery until just this month. "They're too innocent," I thought to myself (when I bothered to think about it at all). Too naive, I naively believed. What could a traditional mystery give to me that I couldn't get--and...
Even decades after first reading it, I could recall parts of this book distinctively to mind, that's how strong an impression it made after I'd completely forgotten plots and characters of dozens, maybe even hundreds of mystery books, even others by Agatha Christie. It would be a close thing, but if...

My mom had every book she had ever written (over 80 books) on a bookshelf in her bedroom until she died and I moved them so...

Can anything be said about this book that hasn't already been said a thousand times? It's a classic and it's been given every accolade possible for a mystery novel.
