I remember loving this book as a kid - pleased to report that it holds up!! It’s an excellent mystery, loving this book is probably what led me to jump into reading Agatha Christie. The mystery is complex and interesting while still being appropriate for the audience (8-12 year olds). Satisfying ending that ties up all of the loose ends.
