So good, so EASY to go through. And so far none of the predictable tropes at play.

Don’t really like this much anymore
The rome part with all its descriptions of food is still good though

Rereading this after so many years and its not holding my interest as well.

After reading all the Herriot stories, I understand the need for hot water but I really think the vets should bring their own soap and towels.

Pretty grubby and messy and sad- just a layer of sadness hanging over it.

No sympathy for this girl

I feel like I have already read a version of this novel in Conversations with friends and that if I hadn’t read that book first, this might have struck a chord with me.

The kind of book you get up in the middle of the night to read. Yes. No joke. I have been up since 1.30 am plodding my way through this book.

Lots to think about although I do love advice columns.

There should be a reread option for books. Anyway, this is one of the sadder agatha christies which delves into the heavier side of human nature, bringing Ms Marples dictum, with human nature being what is, in play. It is profound and wise, but firmly embedded in melancholy.
