I Great story and plot.

I liked the story and plot, plus the trickery. I thought someone was going to
be poisoned by the puddings.

Just ok for me nothing too shocking

Took me five hours to listen to this 60 min audiobook. With Agatha Christie I've found that there is a lot of information given in a short time. I had to pay the utmost attention because there is no filler words here. If my mind wondered or someone spoke to me I would have to skip back.

This is my 2nd story from Agatha. While I wasn't as impressed with this one I still enjoy the twist and uniqueness of her investigative writing. Definitely will read more of her work soon.
