I read this during the month of December when I usually read Christmas themed books. It's okay, not one of Christie's best (And Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express). The setup is clever and the outcome is not easily guessed, which is typical Christie. However, despite the short length, the book drags a bit in the middle. It feels like it takes forever to find out who did it. But the twist is clever. I didn't guess who did it.
