One of a handful of public domain mysteries from Agatha Christie, this quick read is a delight.

A great, fast read. I needed something to distract from me David Brinn’s Brightness Reef, which I can’t quite get into, and this did the job perfectly. The characters in this witty little mystery were fantastic, though a little one dimensional. I think she did a great job developing the characters despite a relatively small amount of pages. The mystery itself is fairly believable, though you do have to have a sense for WW1 British politics to take full advantage of it.

Pick this one up (for free online in many locations) for a fun, light read with some witty twists along the way.

UPDATE: After almost two weeks slogging through it, Brightness Reef is picking up steam. I had purchased City of Ember in an attempt to read something light, but Brightness Reef is having some nice twists to keep me interested.
