Sehr unterhaltsamer Krimi. Hatte zu Beginn etwas Probleme mit all den Namen klar zukommen (empfehle hier eine kurze Liste als Übersicht), danach kam man aber gut mit und konnte die Story leicht verfolgen. Das Ende fand ich etwas konstruiert und kitschig, passt aber irgendwie zur Story und macht das Buch zu einem richtig schönen Feel Good Roman. Anmerkung: es kommen mehrere sexistische und rassistische Passagen vor. Nachvollziehbar, aufgrund des Erscheinungsdatums, finde aber es sollte trotzdem angesprochen werden.

This is the first time I correctly guessed who did it, but I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or if I'm getting rather good at it. It was still a lot of fun to get the individual clues and there were still a few mini-twists that I was excited about. Christie always manages to get a genuine reaction out of me while reading her mysteries, I can't not be engaged in them. There were a lot of tiny side plots and I think the interpersonal stuff in these books is almost always the best about them. However, I wish there was a little more focus on some of the side plots, a few could have needes that to be more fleshed out. It's not quite my favourite, but I see why people recommend this as a good place to start with Agatha Christie: it has a fascinating setting, fun characters, an interesting mystery with some excitement and introduces Poirot fairly well (even though I like him best around Hastings). Only thing is, I didn't care much for the other detective, but that's just not that important.
