A solid short mystery
Really is a fun little mystery in the Christie mold. Get everyone in one location and have someone die. This time its a typical start, a dying man who is quite rich calls together family to go over his wishes for his estate. Afterwards he is found dead. DI Moss has to figure everything out with very few clues and no murder weapon she can find.
Recommended, it's a quick read and had me interested throughout.

A Family Affair is a deeply engaging exploration of family dynamics and the complexities of personal relationships. The characters feel real and layered, and I found myself thinking about their choices long after finishing the book. The story’s tension and emotional honesty make it a compelling read.
