So, this was interesting. The plot doesn't really start until almost halfway through and the first half is slow and I wasn't sure where it was going. But then, things started to happen, I again made 54215 theories and NEVER ONCE had an inkling of the real solution. When it was presented, I was truly shocked and the book gained another dimension in my eyes. I added a whole star to my rating because of the reveal and the ending. I have to say, I do love the more atmospheric, creepy novels by Agatha, they always manage to compel me to keep reading and give me the chills, even though I'm not drawn enough to the plot or the characters. That happened here, because, like I said, up to 50% I wasn't sure where the story was going and I wasn't that much invested in the characters. Actually, that was one of the issues for me, aside from the slow start - I just couldn't care much for the characters, any of them. That is partly explained by the ending, but still, it's hard to care about the safety of the MCs if you don't much like them. But, as I said, the atmosphere kept me going and it did pay off! Not my favorite Christie novel, but an overall good read!
