This is my 8th, and last, book for summer reading. Catgory: Mystery.
(Who knew it was also a video game?)
I had originally picked up a different book. I started its pages and realized it was incredibly similar to the book I had just finished reading, and was therefore uninteresting.
The name Agatha Christie came to mind. I'm not sure how the name was planted there. Obviously, when considering great mystery writers, hers is a heavy-hitting name. This was the first book I had read of hers.
It will not be the last.
I appreciate my local library, for challenging me to expand my horizons. The next books I will read will all be similar in some aspects: love, women, happy endings. But my library has inspired me to read action, biography, and mystery, to name a few. (I should be doing this on my own, but honestly - I wouldn't).
Getting on: this book is excellently crafted. Perhaps not so much, to a different mind. But I was guessing until the very end. A classic "who-done-it".
It read every bit like an old black and white movie, and I loved that.
Recommended.
