The reader sees multiple points of view and thus has shifting sympathies for the characters (if it can be called sympathy as the characters are so despicable). Seemingly impossible things start happening, driving some of the characters to think they’re seeing ghosts or perhaps losing their minds. For such a short book, it’s very complex.
I’m about to start The Science of Murder: the Forensics of Agatha Christie by Carla Valentine, and I wanted a refresher on Christie’s writing style. I’m glad I chose this one.
