Reviews

[Benedetta Ammannati · Rating 5 out of 5]

Come sempre un acuto giallo della Christie, peccato che Poirot entra in campo in ritardo, infatti aspettavo a Gloria che facesse il suo ingresso.
Il colpevole è inimmaginabile fino all'ultimo.

Agatha Christie non si smentisce mai... anche con questo suo libro è riuscita a tenere il lettore attaccato alle pagine e a indagare insieme ai protagonisti tra cui il famosissimo Poirot. Ma ahimè il colpevole (per conto mio) non sono riuscita a smascherarlo fino all'ultima pagina e devo dire che non ci credevo! però proprio come nella realtà molto spesso le apparenze ingannano e chi commette i peggiori delitti sono proprio quelli meno insospettabili!!!
