Very nice murder mystery. So many twists that I kept changing my mind who the murderer(s) was and still got it wrong in the end! The writing was quality with steady pacing. Just enough descriptive passages to feel involved. However, the author used the confession letter ploy to solve the crime. Similar to Tey's
The Singing Sands. It's not my favorite ways to reveal all. Grade it a B- [3.5 stars]. His more famous book
The Three Coffins has been voted as one of the best locked-door mysteries. I have that also and will read it soon but first ...
Something different. I'm going to try
The Pigeon by Patrick Suskind translated from German.
