I really liked this! Probably my favorite Colonel Race of the 4. Propulsive, even a little romantic, and it kept me guessing until the end.

I like how Christie uses the viewpoints of different characters to tell this story. The solution is a smidgen of a leap, and I would have to read back through to be sure, but I think Christie misleads the reader a little more blatantly than I think is quite fair, but I enjoyed the characters and the story overall.

I did not enjoy reading the first part at all, the second part was not great and the third part was great, but the last chapter - phenomenal. Mind was blown, Agatha found some way to shock us as usual.
