A classic for a reason, this murder mystery holds up quite well after all of the time (once you account for some major technological differences). It mainly suffers from needing people to act in very specific ways for the plot to play out correctly, and from needing a full exposition dump epilogue explaining how everything happened.

In particular, the longer I thought about it the less the final character's staged suicide seemed like it would work without raising massive red flags (why the blood splatter where the corpse was left?)
