M-U-R-D-E-R. It began as an innocent parlor game intended to while away the hours on a bitter winter night. But the message that appeared before the amateur occultists snowbound at the Sittaford House was spelled out as loud and clear as a scream. Of course, the notion that they had foretold doom was pure bunk. Wasn't it? And the discovery of a corpse was pure coincidence. Wasn't it? If they're to discover the answer to this baffling murder, perhaps they should play again.

Between this and The Secret of Chimneys, I’m starting to get the impression that Christie was on a crusade to single-handedly take down the “policemen in detective novels are stupid” trope. Once again, we have a murder mystery where the police are competent and on top of things and aren’t completely...
I didn't quite finish this one before falling asleep last night, so I grabbed it and finished it this morning. This is one of Christie's true standalones - one of those books containing none of her recurring characters. No Poirot or Marple, but also no Colonel Race, no Inspector Japp or Ariadne Ol...
Not cricket, Dame Agatha! The story was enjoyable enough, but it was unsolvable by a reader because Agatha Christie withheld information until the denouement. She usually plays more fairly, and her stories are usually more cleverly spun!
Książki Królowej Kryminału, choć przeczytałam dopiero dwie, polubiłam i nawet doszłam do wniosku, że autorka zdecydowanie stanie się jedną z moich ulubionych. Nie potrafiłam sobie wyobrazić wyjazdu bez książki pani Christie, bo kto uratowałby mnie w deszczowy dzień? Traf chciał, że akurat zobaczyłam...
