Wasn't sure what this would be like - on one hand, it's *Agatha Christie*; on the other, people have told me it's not particularly good.
A pleasant surprise: a nice murder mystery that was pretty enjoyable to read with many twists and turns and was exactly what it said on the tin.

It just wasn't very good. Yes, it sure was a seminal work in describing a kind of dystopia that comes about from an intended utopia, but it never actually got around to being a story. It was just...a whole lot of not much.
