3.0
An upper class whodunit that encourages you to guess the murder from an unlikable and limited pool of suspects.
Whilst the multiple points of view meant the flow of the book was well paced the content was not, nor could it be described as thrilling. It read more like a crime drama and based on this book I can’t say I’d buy more by the author.
