The Sittaford Mystery by Agatha Christie
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
3.0
A bit disappointing on the mystery front- procedural with too many red herrings- but it gets points for ambience. I wanted a mystery with a nice snowy background, and this delivered.
It took awhile for Christie to settle on a main character, but she wrote a good one in Emily: charming, smart, manipulative, and has no regrets. Her last chapter had me laughing with surprise. Plenty of other side characters with great little quirks of their own.
Hugh Fraser does a wonderful job narrating, and is pretty good with voices- though his grumpy old men voices are much better than any of the ladies’ voices, go figure.
