Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The promise of an Agatha Christie-type mystery lured me into buying this book. The age-old trope of a small group gathered in an inaccessible place where a murder takes place is still worth reading, but not as presented here. By the time I slogged through the descriptions of each character (and their complicated histories), the book was half completed....the murder was predictable and the ending quick and tidy. I was sorry I actually bought this and would recommend getting it for free at the library, if you have the patience and interest in a really cliched pastiche of a good, old-fashioned English country house murder mystery.
