However, limits, especially superficially formulaic ones, such as disappearing 'Indian figurines" also elicit tremendous creativity and masterful control in this mystery novel, one of many that have established Christie in the forefront of 'genre-rizing' Mystery in fiction.”

Anyone who can solve this one on the first read-through is a master mystery decoder!

Great fun!”

The only thing I don't like about the book is the writing style - which is very detatched and analytical. However, it's still worth reading. ”
