2.25

Mostly I hated it it was quite racist and xenophobic. Also it was a lot more slower than her other books and I felt super bored at places. I was thinking of giving it 2.75 since I started to like the book towards the end however

remark about being married to a white woman rather than a black woman since he hadn't lowered himself that much??????? was so awful and racist and I hated it so so so so much. I think Agatha Christie's later books might not be for me since they are full of these kinds of things and I'm also not interested in spies and conspiracies. However since I had picked some of her other books I will read them too I guess.
