The premise of this book was really intriguing and I love a good locked room mystery however this book lost momentum in the middle and seemed to repeat itself a lot. 

I finished this book on what would’ve been Agatha Christie’s 134th birthday so Happy Birthday Agatha!

A fascinating look at a family plagued by secrets and loss, and the outsider who, by chance, helps solve the family's central mystery.

A történet felépítése nagyon megfogott. Dr. Calgary szerepe, bár először nem tűnt nagyon relevánsnak, a végére kiderült miért maradt benne a történetben, miután már betöltötte a ráeső szerepet. Az Argyle család semelyik tagja sem volt különösebben szimpatikus a számomra, mindenkinek volt valami takargatnivalója, a szokásos gyanús viselkedés. Nagy meglepetést okozott a végkifejlet, egyáltalán nem erre számítottam.

Egyúttal azért örültem is, hogy azért nem minden történetben a férj a gyilkos. :)
