"this is a good mystery, as with most of Christie's books it is not really suspenseful it is just solving the mystery. But she is always so clever and cunning in the twists and turns they are very hard to figure out. If in if you figure out parts it is very difficult to figure it all out. "

    " Even if you start suspecting every character ever mentioned in this book, you'll surely be surprised at the end. Unlike some of her other works I've read, the motive in this is quite satisfactory. This may not be her top work, but is still one among the best. Enjoyed it. "

    " This is one of the best of Agatha Christie's novels! Its was such a drama that the murderer has always been 2 feet away from Poirot himself and that 'it'(I don't want to be a spoiler) has also injected 'itself' in the investigation. Poirot was absolutely funny in the end... XD "
