Agatha – no need to say more. I have read this, and most of Agatha’s books, multiple times, so the above categories don’t work (of course it’s “predictable”, I’ve known the ending since I was a teen). But there’s a reason I keep re-reading – I love her work!
Agatha Christie Classic Lots of fun, I’ve read this many times. Her mysteries can get a bit tedious as the search for clues goes on and everyone is a suspect. Then the final scene where you learn the truth. There is an unusual twist to this story that is surprising and one you’ll not forget. So sure, I knew the ending before I read it again, but so what, I love the Poirot character, well done on TV too.
Read it before you watch it. My grandson said he didn’t like the ending, so of course I had to read it. I LOVED the ending. Of all (and there are many) the whodunits that take place in close quarters, that ending was the best developed I have ever read.
