Interesting name isn't it
The Story is also kind off different
From the first chapter we are trying to get to the murdered as murder was committed one year ago and was declared as suicide..
.
We get to know all the characters and their role in that particular day..
Story was nice and end was also kinda cool..
.
End wasn't that shocking but it was kind off different that what we normally see..
So I was ok with it..
.
Also after a long time I read a Christie without Poirot.
Otherwise he is always there and I felt kind off weird while reading it coz there was no detective going on since start and bringing your attention to the small things like Poirot does. Like I don't know something was missing.
.
There are too many references to many age old classics and result was lot of spoiler for me as I hadn't read most of those 😂.
Coz of these classics references I also felt I should clear my classics backlog I am too behind in reading classics even after reading atlest two classics each month.
.
This time while reading mystery i realised that everytime we start a Mystery or a thriller Mystery our brain starts working. In this one it started working since first chapter which is a pretty good sign..
Our attention while reading a Mystery is so intact. Like nothing can stop me from catching the murderer.
Yeah I read this in a day..
That's the magic of good Mystery, half is done by The name of Christie itself.
.
By the time we reach the end the attention level goes so high that you miss few words and even sentences. Even if you read everything there are chances (when you read with that speed) that you read but things didn't materialize in your mind. This is not intentional skipping but it happens unconsciously. Missing few words and yet you are well aware how it's going on. After finishing you will remember what happend in the end but somethings didn't register there were few doubts which if you read last few pages again slowly might get cleared..
.
It's just something I noticed..
