So thanks for the reminder, Nan. I'm going to get my hands on a copy at some point this year. The odd thing is I do remember who the killer is, but not much else. Your review didn't even ring a bell - at least about the characters.<br /><br />I also did remember that Christie always said this was one of her faves. At one point in time I think I had just about every Christie book on my shelves but over the years, the paperbacks deteriorated and all I've got left now are just a few tattered paperbacks and several anthologies with three or four novels collected therein. Not my favorite way to read a book, but it's better than nothing.<br /><br />I should have bought the hardcovers when I had the chance. Darn!<br /><br />Yes, this will make a terrific movie - unless they muck it all up.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-17157279289015861632012-05-22T17:15:18.538-04:002012-05-22T17:15:18.538-04:00It's a goody isn't it Nan and as you say a...It's a goody isn't it Nan and as you say a bit creepy (in an enjoyable way) :0):0):0)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003915263556622215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-16192663220791265242012-05-22T14:53:53.729-04:002012-05-22T14:53:53.729-04:00Honestly I only began in earnest a few years ago. ...Honestly I only began in earnest a few years ago.

It's been so long since I last read one of her books. I really need to revisit them. A friend gave me a bagful of Christie books quite awhile ago that she no longer wanted.
