The Unexpected Guest by Charles Osborne, Agatha Christie
5.0
This book...this boooooook! SOOOOOOOOO good!!!!
*****SPOILER ALERT****
From the beginning I had a feeling that the person who killed Richard was either Jan (because he had the mental and emotional capacity of a child, and because he seemed anxious to kill Richard) or Starkwedder (because a stranger willingly integrating himself into a murder just seemed way too suspicious). As someone who has read and watched a lot of mystery/thriller books I had a feeling that Starkwedder was actually MacGregor (the father of the boy who was killed by Richard). Agatha did a pretty good job of trying to convince the reader that there were other murder suspects, of course practically everyone had a motive.
As the story progressed I became more convinced that the murderer was in fact Starkwedder and that Jan was just there as a distraction, I mean it was really too obvious especially when he "admitted to killing Richard".
When Starkwedder started to say how easy it would be for someone to fake their death, I screamed out in excitement because I knew he was talking about himself. Then he finally admitted to being MacGregor, I was absolutely beside myself.
Excellent book!! Can't wait to read her other works.
