Complicated
The opening of this book, with ach character remembering Rosemary, is truly stella, interesting and captivating. The characters shine through, especially those of Stephen and Sandra Farraday. Thier relationship is so complex and interesting, believably and skillfully drawn. They are what draw me back to this book time and time again and if I could give it 5 stars just for them I would. However, the pacing in the second half lags a little and the solution to the mystery isn't on parr with the best of Christie's cunning mastery
