Rating: 5 out of 5

I learned of Agatha Christie’s books under a pseudonym through a podcast and wanted to investigate. This seemed to be a good choice as it was the book Christie said she’d always wanted to write. I found this story fascinating and frustrating. And I found the main character, Joan, described well enough that I wouldn’t want to spend any time with her. It’s a great premise for a story, and left me wondering about what I’d discover in the same circumstances

Highlighted passage:

It had been quite easy to fill her life with unimportant trivialities that left her no time for self-knowledge.
