3.5 stars. Fun little cozy mystery reminiscent of Agatha Christie with lots of clever nods to classic books, movies, and plays. (At one point, I wondered if it was a Murder on the Orient Express type of setup, and like 2 pages later, one of the characters says, "What is this, Murder on the Orient Express??" which made me giggle.) Quick read and a good twist at the end. Very enjoyable.
