Going back to Agatha Christie’s world after so long felt like going back home 🥺 I was immediately swooped into the world of interesting characters, Poirot’s charisma, and unexpected reveals.

I loved the world building, this dystopian idea of the future is,m. I liked how every aspect was taking care of.. If you ever wonder about anything you’ll find the answer for it.
I enjoyed how the book took turns, the plot kept getting thicker and the journal entries made more sense as the story progressed.
I liked how it displayed that even when humanity can erase disease and reach its peak, corruption still resides in some people.
The characters left an impression on me, especially the scythes like Faraday and Curie.
I think the book wrapped up nicely, and I don’t think it needs a sequel but with enough conviction I might pick it up.
