Negative Positive
Title: Memorable shocker
Review: One of Christie's strongest. Although the plot is neither intricate nor clue-laden, the ending is powerful and immediately convincing. Christie's climatic explanatory chapters are usually lengthy; this one is barely two or three pages. This is due to the soundness and deceptive simplicity of the solution. Christie's publishers wanted her to change the unconventional ending, but she wisely refused. A classic murder mystery.
