As with any murder mystery book, I spend the whole time guessing the ending and this time I wasn't even close. And I ate it up regardless.

It's a short book and very easy to get sucked in to. I read the first half over a week and then finished the rest in about 2 hours (it's 2am as I type this).

The characters were interesting and the story gripping. The setting is typical being set in a big country house. The fête added some intrigue and worked really well with the characters being at which place at what time. 

All round an enjoyable book!
