I didn't enjoy this book. It was a whodunnit with an unstumpable detective type like Poirot or Sherlock Holmes. But all the deductions were based on the most convoluted social norms rather than evidence or observations. 

And the characters all felt so over the top in their demonstrations of love or affection, that none of it felt realistic.
