A page-turner!
The ending was a bit unrealistic though, and I could predict the twist.
Made me jump straight to another Swanson book!

A collection of short stories, each more powerful than the next. I mean it’s Chimamanda! Of course she’d deliver!

An artful approach to grief that is both ludicrous yet deep.
Filled with flawed unlikable characters that somehow create this emotional gripping page-turner of a book.
The perfect catalyst to my Halloween reading journey!

Going back to Agatha Christie’s world after so long felt like going back home 🥺 I was immediately swooped into the world of interesting characters, Poirot’s charisma, and unexpected reveals.
