A review by vermidian
The Sittaford Mystery by Agatha Christie
5.0
Honestly, this is a great, classic example of an Agatha Christie story. You have the investigators, the chattering old ladies, the suspicious loose ends and the red herrings, and, of course, you have the murder. This one lacks Agatha Christie's signature stars, but it doesn't lose anything for it. Instead, you follow different characters as they try to discover who really did the deadly crime of murdering Mr. Trevelyan.
All in all, it's a good story for the genre of the time. It's really more of a 4.5 star read for me, but I rounded up to tick the average in my ideal direction. I liked Emily Trefusis as a main character, and especially her decision at the end which I thought was a lot more sensible than some of Christie's endings for her female characters. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable mystery. I would definitely recommend it to others.
