精彩書評
Daily Herald (UK) “The most astonishingly impudent, ingenious and altogether successful mystery story since The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.” New Statesman (UK) “There is no cheating; the reader is just bamboozled in a straightforward way from first to last….The most colossal achievement of a colossal career. The book must rank with Mrs. Christie’s previous best—on the top notch of detection.” Fewer Reviews New York Times “The whole thing is utterly impossible and utterly fascinating. It is the most baffling mystery Agatha Christie has ever written.” The Observer (UK) “One of the very best, most genuinely bewildering Christies.” Time magazine “One of the most ingenious thrillers in many a day.”
