This is a clever, Agatha Christie inspired read. I enjoyed the cleverness and intricacy of the game. As an America , I found the intimate insights into British culture educational and charming.
My main fault with the book, resulting in the relatively low rating, is the writing. Benedict is a fine writer, but her penchant for and reliance on similes (some quite droll) quickly became distracting and undermined the story and her overall skill.
