Review: Still very enjoyable
I had forgotten quite how good Agatha Christie is. It is many, many years since I read any of her classics and enjoyed this one very much.
The plot and mystery are, of course, very well done and somewhat less implausible than I expected, but what I enjoyed most was Christie’s style. Her prose is excellent and often witty, she has a very neat and penetrating way of painting her characters and the dialogue is, by and large, very natural and convincing.
After all these years, this remains a thoroughly entertaining, enjoyable read which I can recommend warmly.
