I really enjoyed this book! The mystery was well paced, and the clues were all scattered in in a way that was believable. There were of course some red herrings, but all the twists made sense. I highly recommend! 

There are two different versions of this book - one published in the UK (the original) and one published in the US. While the differences aren’t huge, I do think some of the changes do affect the character of the story. I was reading along with a copy of the original text, and I felt the culture of being set in the UK made a lot of sense with some of the situations that happen.

Really enjoyed how this was written. And all the twists. Didn’t love the bit about the golden retriever but being an owner of one… I guess that’s to be expected. Glad they all got was coming to them.
