I’m very disappointed in myself. When I first started reading the book, I figured out who would be the murderer very quickly, but then began to second-guess myself and changed my assumption. However, coming to the end of the book, I find that I have been right all along and it lies within a key phrase I took particular interest in in the book. Though the perspectives were somewhat messily written, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would consider reading more of Agatha Christie’s work. Lesson Learned: Sometimes it’s better to go with your initial instinct instead of second-guessing yourself.
