This isn't my usual kind of book if I'm honest. Very character-driven, and reflective. At first it didn't grab me, but I'm glad I persevered as I came to be completely immersed in Celia's story. I found her charming in her innocence. It almost felt like reading her journal. The writing is very good, as you would expect, and despite the subject matter I did find myself laughing at a turn of phrase or anecdote. It took me completely by surprise how much I wanted to pick up the book again (though I did find myself waiting for Poirot to appear in the drawing room). I may have been frustrated at times at character choices, but it just felt raw, human, and honest. A believable fiction that had me hoping for the best for Celia (aka Agatha from what I've seen).
