_solaris 's review for:

A Murder Is Announced by Agatha Christie
5.0

Scrumptious. Oh, so very scrumptious. What great fun this was to read! Had me on the edge of my seat almost the entire time. Oh Agatha, you absolute gem of a writer.

I would have appreciated a little map of Miss Blacklock's house, though. The descriptions felt like mishmash in my head.

And what? I managed to solve it as well? I've been thinking about Miss Blacklock since about halfway - first as sort of a guess, and then more and more. She seemed weirdly proud that she was getting the money, and I couldn't sense any fear from her, knowing she'd had a near miss and was clearly out to be murdered. It really sealed the fate when Miss Murgatroyd said "she wasn't there" and I really even wagered (in my head) that it's Miss Blacklock or I wouldn't buy any new books. So I'll be buying new books I guess ♥️
