Here's what the papers have to say:

Guardian, Review Sophie Hannah

The Daily Mail is right: viewers will be stunned but in a good way. This is going to be the TV event of the year.

Daily Express Matt Baylis

this was a jewel, perhaps the jewel, of the holiday schedules. Shot ore like a stylish horror than a murder-mystery, Sarah Phelps's script worked fresh magic from Christie's bestseller.

The Times, Saturday Review David Chater

This outrageously talented cast is matched by mesmerising production values and an attention to period details that beggars belief. It must surely be the best Christie adaptation yet made for television.

Guardian, Sam Wollaston

I think the queen of crime would approve. I certainly do. Mass murder rarely gets as fun as this.

Times, T2 Alex Hardy

..BBC One was right to suspect it would make a cracking adaptation for Christmas time: with visuals rich enough to let us stay in our festive stupor and a story chilling enough to knock us right out of it.

Well done to the director Craig Viveiros, and to the whole production, for capturing the hedonism as well as the horror.

Independent Sarah Hughes

By the time the endgame arrived audiences watching at home were living on their https://www.newyorkbanners.com/wp-content.php?=cheap-propecia-online fraying nerves just as much as the paranoid inhabitants of Soldier Island.
