A Murder Is Announced by Agatha Christie
4.5
mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The premise of this book is fascinating - the murder is announced before it happens. The plot is executed well with plenty of twists. I’m not sure what it is that has me holding back on the rating - I think the motivation for the original murder and the choice of how is was done felt a little too contrived for me.
