First book of the year and it is of course an Agatha Christie :O)
#ReadChristie2023 is this year focusing on methods and motives, and they recommended this title for January. Off I went and although I did read this years ago, I couldn’t remember a thing. Nada!

Another good Agatha Christie mystery. I did guess it, but only towards the end.
Christie wrote so many books that there are inevitable character re-runs. The cool, calm, unemotional heroine has shown up a couple times and I really like the version in this book. Elinor is a great character.
