Review
What morecan a mystery addict desire? (New York Times )

A brilliantly ingenious story. (Dorothy L. Sayers, Daily Herald (UK) )

Need it be saidthe little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end. (Times Literary Supplement (London) )

[Moves] smoothly and entertainingly to its surprise conclusion. (Chicago Daily Tribune )

Its tempting to say that Agatha Christie is a genius and let it go at that, but the worlds had plenty of geniuses. Agatha Christie is something special. (Lawrence Block, New York Times bestselling author )

Nothing short of swell. [Christie] is probably the best suspicion scatterer and diverter in the business. (New York Herald Tribune )

Isolated by the storm, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer among a dozen of the dead man's enemies, before the murderer decides to strike again.
