With few people to help them and reliant on luck, effrontery and sheer bravery it will not be an easy task for them to perform. Although this is a highly enjoyable narrative and one which captures our interest very early on, it is rather disappointing that so much of it can be seen in some of Christie's earlier writings, leading us to come to the regrettable conclusion that she was recyclin...more
