Review

I read this book during the mystery and thriller week.

Nothing is better than reading a detective story, especially an Agatha Christie’s one.

I love this story as you have a dog, and like in any of her story everyone can be the culprit. I love to make some hypothesis on why and who is the murderer.

For this one, I knew the who and the why as I watched it a hundred times on TV. Nevertheless, the story is so different, and you understand so much more with the book. It’s so complete that it much better to read it than watch it.

Liz.
