This was my first Agatha Christie novel, believe it or not. My sister used to love reading Agatha Christie. I somehow never got into reading her. I was a Asimov guy.

Audiobooks are usually read to you, as if you paid someone to read the book to you. This was not that. This felt like you were listening to the audio of a movie, or a play, more like a play. There was a background score and multiple actors playing their parts - including the excellent Peter Dinklage as Poirot.

The story, the mystery itself was OK. I have watched so many mysteries at this point that this felt recognisable. I recognised the elements, the characters, they felt similar. Perhaps the things I have watched have all been inspired by Poirot and Agatha’s other books. It’s me who is late to the party.

I was a little alarmed by the stage play nature of the book, but by the end, I came around to it. I do want my books to be read by a single person though.
