4.5* re-read #readchristie2024

“Always bear in mind that the person who speaks may be lying”

One of Christie’s best, lulling you into one way, only to twist it all at the end. This one is famous for Agatha’s disregard for the ‘rules’ and it is brilliant.

First time reading an Agatha Christie novel. I had heard about the premise and wanted to see what an almost 100 year old famous whodunit was like.
