Sparkling Cyanide by Agatha Christie

3.0

---

Another top-notch puzzle-box mystery from Agatha Christie. In this one, she cleverly keeps you at arm's length from all of the characters--no one's motives are above suspicion, so you know you can't ally yourself too closely with anyone. It's an effective way to keep the focus squarely on the problem. And then, of course, when all is revealed, you feel like you should have put it together ages ago.
