This is why i dislike Agatha Christie specially so much, specially in novel format. She will spend so much time in red herring and for real culprit, she'll leave almost next to no clues, her protagonists suddenly realise the true facts, instead of finding the actual clues.. Well that's the downfall of her style, that i usually manage to figure out the culprit, purely based on her writing style. And that's also tiring because she spent so much time at the beginning to set up the characters, because i knew immediately that it's free herring and hence, boring. I just wish that she'll hurry up. It also helped me up figure out not only who ll be the murderer, but also the the victim, long before the actual murder happen. And t was a relief when the murder actually happens, because the story picked up the pace then.Anyways, it's all in all a fun to read this book, even if the first half of the story is extremely boring. Christie is best in her short story format than

This book needs complete attn from start to end...you snooze you loose...rewind and hear again...each plot is v.imp...and hear it only when you can give undivided attn...grand novel

This was my first book by the author and I loved it. A very good story.
