I picked this book up bc it was free on kindle + the author is reputed to be one of the influences to Agatha Christie. She is not nearly as good as Christie. The book was enjoyable enough, but I can't say I am feeling compelled to read anymore of hers.

This was fine, but the way Q solves the final part of the mystery is way too dumb

3.5 But rounded up because I was pretty hooked throughout the middle! The ending dragged a bit after the mystery was cleared up but before the "happy ending" was secured.
Still, I'm glad I discovered this author, and I am excited to read some of her other works. Yay public domain!
