What can I say about this book that hasn´t been said before innumerable times. This is an excellent mystery, the plot is cleverly crafted and it simply is one of Christie´s best.

And yet it isn´t one of my favorite mysteries by Dame Agatha and I don´t know exactly the reason for my feeling so. One reason might be that I didn´t feel deeply connected to the characters. And more often than not my favorite mysteries by Agatha Christie are those, which have a tragic ending and in which I become deeply moved by the fate of the characters. Or who knows, maybe I just missed poor, old Hastings a whole lot in this one.
