I’ve just read your review, Margaret, since I finished the book. If I hadn’t read it, your words would convince me to do so! What a family!

This is a very good Christie. Not in her ‘top ten’ of masterpieces, but still a very accomplished whodunit, with a clever solution. I’ve always admired it.

It is on its way to me from the Book Depository! Should be here soon, and I hope to read it this holiday season. I’ll wait and read your words after I finish, Margaret.

I haven’t read this one yet. It sounds like an excellent book for this time of year.

Margaret – Thanks so much for reviewing this book!! I’m a major Agatha Christie fan, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I agree with you that the theme of “Old Sins Cast Long Shadows” is critical to the book, so I’m glad you brought it up. Your review is thorough, well-written and interesting; well done : )

What a fun idea for a Christmas book! Glad to hear it kept you guessing too – I’m definitely marking this one down!

Thanks for this Margaret. I had a thought of reading all Agatha Christie's related to Christmas, but I don't think that is going to happen. You also need to submit this for the next Agatha Christie Blog Carnival too. And later in the week you can add it to the "Suggest a Christmas Title" feature that I'm going to run. (probably start it next Sunday I think)

I should read this one next month – I quite like reading seasonal books at the right time of year, thanks for the reminder

I read this recently too! One of my kids chose it for me at the library when I wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t go myself.
