I usually categorize Christie's mysteries in three groups: * Fabulous * Classic/standard * Below average This one falls into the Classic/standard category wrt story. But she really played this one close to the vest for me.

As for the mystery and story: I never really guessed who it was, though I think I went through just about every character as a possibility at one time or another. She is now my favorite (non-detective) Christie character. The main reason I gave it a rating of 4 and not a 3 is because of the character of Katherine Grey. The story is engaging with interesting characters.

He's great in this, though the American accents are always a little forced and fake, but likely more because of Christie's writing. Hugh Fraser is my favorite Christie narrator.
