'One of the very best,most genuinely bewildering Christies.'Observer
'The most astonishingly impudent,ingenious and altogether successful mystery story since The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.'Daily Herald
'One of the most ingenious thrillers in many a day.'Time Magazine
'There is no doubt that this is a highly ingenious jigsaw by a master of puzzling.'Books
'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.'New Statesman
'The whole thing is utterly impossible and utterly fascinating. It is the most baffling mystery Agatha Christie has ever written.'New York Times
