It's very hard for me to rate this book. I read it long ago, and I saw the 1974 movie. There is no way for me to know or remember whether I figured out "who done it."

very good book. twists keep you guessing, but it is possible to figure it out before the end. this is my favourite agatha christie and if you have any spare time you should read it if you like mystery books. not too scary, maybe suitable 10+
