The Secret of Chimneys by Agatha Christie
3.0
lighthearted mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

A decent enough murder mystery, with some political intrigue mixed in. I guessed bits of the mystery but there were some twists and turns along the way as well.

Battle isn't as character as Poirot or Marple but the bones of the plot hold up well enough. 

A lot of colonial era racism which made for an uncomfortable read.
