adventurous dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced

4.0

I really appreciated this mystery, however, I’m a tab bummed because I read a book earlier this year that I know realize was based on this classic.  That kinda spoiled the plot for me.  There are many thoughts in this book that have not aged well.  And it always annoys me when a person claims to be able to tell innocence or guilt just by looking at a person - that has been proven to be a fallacy time and again.  It was an interesting tale and told with the author’s murderous charm.  Worth reading!  4 stars

the first 36 pages were hard to get through & I thought I‘d never be able to remember/tell the characters apart anyway. Then it got more interesting, a lot more fast-paced (& I actually knew who was who) and although I still don’t like the writing style - I know it’s a classic & was written more than 80 yrs ago but still - it was overall not bad and the ending surprised me

Despite all the good reviews on this book, I found it extremely disappointing. It was really hard to keep track of what was going on in the plot-line and I didn’t care what was going on to the characters at all. I only really liked how the author added their madness deepening.
