This was my first Agatha Christie, and OMG, I understand now why she’s hailed the queen of crime/mystery. This was such a great book and the narrator did a wonderful job.

I enjoyed getting to know the characters, their back stories, and what exactly they did to get them the dreaded invite to the island. It was a bit difficult to navigate the first chapters of the novel because of the Old English setting and narration (the first of its kind I ever listened to), but once I was 100% got into it, it was a smooth sailing ride.
🥶
The thing that made this book a solid 5-star read for me, was the fact that we knew how they were all going to die, but there was still so much suspense. It was intriguing to just wait and see who was going to die next, already knowing how they’d die. The crazy part came when towards the end and everything went to hell. The big reveal and the way the revelation came really made my head spin. It was sooooooooo good – I can’t stress that enough.
