Not my favorite Perot story.
This was a delightful story with twist interns in an unexpected ending. Nobody does it like Agatha Christie. I would highly recommend this book.
As with other Agatha Christie’s stories the unique characters and the twists and turns as the story progresses provide a very entertaining time as you try to guess the true villain before the end is revealed. Very good.
Agatha Christie never fails to deliver timeless interesting mystery novels.
Agatha Christie rarely disappoints. A good read.
A great mystery with an unexpected “villain”.
Christie got me again. Didn’t see the end coming.
Agatha Christie, need I say more?
