What I appreciate so much about this book is that it reads differently from any other Christie book I've read (most of which have been from the Hercule Poirot series). I also always love a murder mystery that takes me by surprise, this one kept me guessing right until the end.

#LMPBC Round 10 - #GroupM (Agatha Christie)
First published in 1945, Christie penned three books featuring Colonel Race — this is the third
One year earlier on 2 November, seven people sat down to dinner at the restaurant "Luxembourg". One, Rosemary Barton, never got up. The coroner ruled her death suicide due to post-flu depression. Six months later, her husband George receives anonymous letters saying that Rosemary was murdered. George investigates and decides to repeat the dinner at the same restaurant, with the same guests, plus an actress who looks like his late wife meant to arrive late and startle out a confession. The actress does not arrive and George dies at the table – poisoned, like his wife, by cyanide in his champagne. His death might have been judged as suicide, but George shared his concerns and some of his plan with his friend Colonel Race.

My ideal palette cleanser, a four star Agatha Christie
Properly enjoyed this one, and I love it when I find one where I don't know whodunnit going in.
