The Secret of Chimneys
by Agatha Christie
*For context: I don't try to figure out the mystery in Agatha Christie's books while I read them; I'm just along for the ride. If I figure something out along the way, that's great, but it's not something I'm actively trying to do.*
I think this is the first Agatha Christie book I've rated 5 stars in the past four years. It was so good! It took me a couple of chapters to get into it, but once the background information had been communicated, things started to happen and it was hectic. Anthony Cade's perspective was a really fun way to tell the story, and the way he interacted with all the characters was also entertaining. The pacing slowed down a little bit towards the middle of the story, but enough was happening that I didn't lose interest, and then the end was absolutely crazy. My jaw was on the floor for the last few chapters. There were a few things I'd guessed but the majority of the plot twists surprised me. I couldn't put it down, and had such a good time with it. I'm hoping to reread this one day soon to see everything unfold while knowing the ending.
