As I still was not sure I had got it completely, I cheated and checked the plot on wikipedia (the article is very good, but of course you should read the book first). I could not identify the killer until very late in the book, it goes almost without saying, but I had also a hard time figuring really who was who, and I had to re-read part of the book again once I was done. At the beginning, it sounds really easy, but then the plot thickens, and is suddenly very complex, and you realize there are a lot of things and people involved in a crime that looked originally predictable. This is an original mystery, in the sense that it is very witty and funny, a bit à la Wodehouse actually.
I had wanted to read more by Agatha Christie, and I discovered that this book was partly taking place in that country.
The Around The Word Reading Challenge chose South Africa for the month of January. I read this book for the following Challenges:įirst, let me specify that I read this book for 2 Reading Challenges, as you can see above.
