Not just a great whodunnit, but a story that unfolds gradually from page one up till the end. The author, Lucy Foley, does an excellent job directing the reader to consider a variety of potential killers and victims, slowly teasing out the truth in a story of both likable and very unlikable characters. The storyline is compelling and was, in my opinion, hard to put down.
