Murder in the Crooked House

Overall I really enjoyed this! It got a bit bogged down when the detectives were describing everything, over and over. But the reveal was interesting, if a bit convoluted (but part of it is similar to a particular movie, so it has precedent. Of course, can't say what movie without giving bits away). In the end I really enjoyed it, though. I'm really enjoying these honkaku mysteries (this is my second) and will be reading more!

Talky and stiff

Some enjoyable characters and a good feel, but the means of the murder felt too fantastic to not beleaguer one's suspension of disbelief.
