Before reading this standalone, I have read a couple of Christie’s Hercules Poirot mysteries and found them entertaining. This book makes me think of Sherlock Holmes because the crimes are a bit more outlandish than most thriller’s or murder mysteries. Unlike Sherlock Holmes, it is more up close and personal and you see everyone’s point of view except the murderer’s. This book is like the cozy mystery meets thriller. There are a lot of things going on but it made me take on a more analytical viewpoint. I liked that I didn’t like any of the characters because we all knew they were most likely going to die. I had an idea of how the crimes were committed but I picked the wrong person to have pulled it all off. If you didn’t like this book, I would love to hear why and discuss. If you did like it, I suggest checking out more of Agatha Christie’s novels, specifically The Murder on the Orient Express as it gives off similar vibes, from what I remember.
