Not one of Agatha Christie's best novels, but I still liked it. The final solution disappointed me a bit, but I really enjoyed the plot and the development if the investigation, especially because it's conducted by three different characters, all three interesting in their own way. In short, Dame Agatha is not at her best, but it's still a good book!
