Sooooooo goood.
I decided recently that I should read an Agatha Christie novel. I'd never read one before! So when one with a title I recognized turned up as an Amazon $1.99 deal, I decided that would be the one I started with.

Woah....so clever! A good read!
This was my first Christie, a sparely written and highly suspenseful little mystery. I thought I had figured out whodunnit, but I had it wrong!

I put this down because I thought it was too slow moving. Glad I came back to it because it exploded with more fast paced suspense in the last half.
Ooh, everything you love about Clue in one crazy book!
