They Do It with Mirrors by Agatha Christie
4.0
still *4, maybe only *3.5
i read this about two and a half years ago (incredible that 2020 should be so far away) and i was a little shocked how little i remembered of it in the beginning, because i always used to know every detail of all the stories i had ever read as i child. it came back somewhat, though, but i didn't remember who the murderer was. i think this isn't one of christies strongest ones. the ending is somehow quite surprising and doesn't seem to fit with the character. but i do like the setting (even though the discussions about mental health and resocialisation etc. are sometimes hard to bear) and some of the characters, though not as many as in other works of christie's.
