Frankly, I don't care what people say about Agatha Christie's writing. It works for me. :-D

I find it interesting that this is what she created from
“This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy cried “wee wee wee” all the way home.”
:-D

I also find it fascinating with all the cultural references in this book.

I like Caroline and Angela. I suppose Angela inspired the character of Delia Westholme in the Poirot tv series Appointment with Death. (The “real” lady Westholme wasn't an adventurous archaeologist :-D)

I dislike the Artists who think it's their prerogative to be a-holes, egotistical, temperamental, abusive, often unreliable and unfaithful. Passionate but heartless. I'm an artist, and I might be all this, but it's not something I take as a privilege and “expression of my artistic nature”, but as a character flaw which I am aware hurts people closest to me, and which I am very sorry for.
