Great little mystery with well drawn characters, that kept me guessing.
Honestly, the explanation of the crime felt a little far fetched but I enjoyed the ride anyway

Moderate: Murder and Suicide

the idea that people wouldn't notice that they were sitting one seat over from where they started seemed very odd to me. Even if I sat down in the wrong seat initially, I feel pretty sure I'd notice pretty quickly. A glass swap feels like a better explanation. But I'll let it go as I did enjoy the book overall
