This is what frustrated me the most about those books. No matter how much attention you were paying, you were never able to solve the crime yourself because she always left out vital information.

While I also agree they are impossible to solve, Christie herself actually made sure in her books to provide the reader with all the clues the detective had. There is no hidden information. Can I make the same leaps as the detective does? God no. But all the puzzle pieces are given to you!

I hate last second information that is given to seem like it's a twist
