This was a mid-tier Agatha Christie for me. Some outdated language and concepts about adoption. As an adoptive mother, I certainly hope my kid doesn’t secretly resent me! Honestly I took off a 0.25 off my rating solely based on the

last interaction between Dr. Calgary and Hester on the very last page of the book. It was so cheesy!
