O Caso do Hotel Bertram

The setting feels so vivid and cozy yet sinister — I wonder if Christie drew from real hotels or her own experiences to craft At Bertram's.

The detailed descriptions of the hotel's decor and staff transported me to a different time. Was that intentional, or just a happy accident?

Christie’s plotting is so clever — I’d love to know what her process was for planting subtle hints that keep readers guessing.
