A farce, not her typical mystery
Let's be clear, this is not one of Christie's brilliant works. It is, however, entirely different from any other book she ever wrote. She tells us, before the novel begins, that this book is a farce. It is an improbable scenario that actually could exist in the world. A fantastical hypothetical exploration of a "what if" scenario, Admittedly, it is sluggish at times, but I am glad that I plowed through those moments to the end. While the end wraps up surprisingly fast and has a couple loose ends dangling, overall it is satisfactory conclusion to her work. If you can get through the slow parts, it is worth a read.
