I don't read too many murder mysteries these days (too many other books on my to-read list), but this is such a classic that I finally picked it up . . . and couldn't put it down.  One of those stories that has you catching your breath as it unfolds, and holds you in suspense to the very end.  Might have to find another great mystery to read . . .
