The heightening paranoia was done really well and I was not even close to guessing the ending. I enjoyed the break from Poirot lol

my main gripe is with the last page of the epilogue. I don’t understand how the gun/elastic/door handle contraption worked. Wouldn’t there be a gun tied to a string sitting on the floor of his bedroom? Wouldn’t that be suspicious? I was a little disappointed because I thought Hugo was going to be the murderer and that he orchestrated this whole thing as a way to punish Vera for letting his baby cousin drown. Especially since she was that last to go, suffered the most paranoia, and had the seaweed AND noose planted in HER room and her backstory was the most developed out of everyone but oh well. This ending was a good twist too.
