The sixth in the Washington Poe series of thrillers, with his side-kick Tilly Bradshaw (best character ever written IMO); the darkest yet and with a stunning twist that had me completely fooled.

Beautifully written example of domestic noir with a twist so unexpected that it still takes my breath away long after I’ve read the book and other details have faded away.

Having been brought up on film and TV adaptations, I have only recently started reading Christie’s novels. This is thought by many to be her best, and the twist certainly makes it one of the greats.
