This is one of those Agatha Christie books that takes an unusual approach to plot and, in a way, character.
It is, however, one of those that works like a charm and that is better suited for the book form especially because the narrator is the criminal. The only reason why I didn’t give it a full rating was because one of the characters, Greta, is described in quite a cliched way, the sexualised evil tall blonde and not much more. I understand how it makes sense
 because despite her being the real objet of the murderer’s affection, it turns out that he was far more attached to his rich wife after all, despite having killed her. By the way, the writing and exploring of his emotions at the end is absolutely brilliant.
