I didn’t enjoy this one as much as Murder at the Vicarage, but it was still quite interesting enough. I think this one is more about plot than character-building (of course, this one is relatively short). Mind you, I’ve only read four Christie novels so far, two Miss Marple and two Poirot, but this one didn’t seem to have the connection among the characters that the others did. Miss Marple didn’t feature as prominently in this one as she did in the first one, and I just didn’t find myself able to relate to these characters as well. But overall, the plot was strong and there were enough leads to throw me off so that I wasn’t able to correctly guess “who dunnit.” This is not my favorite, by a long shot, but it was still a good read.
