This was a dead middle of the road mystery and to be honest this makes me want to reconsider all of the works of Christie because they are just so damn good. But this felt very heavy handed with the romance, which I have seen several people comment on. I would love to see a bit more focus on the mysteries in future and I really like Hannah, so it would be good to put her more in the frame.
Overall, Daniel needs to focus on history, Hannah needs more time to develop as the main narrator and less drama over romance would be good. But I am definitely keen to read another book in this series.
