Review:

What a ripping yarn!

I’ve never, or hang on. Okay I checked my book list and I have actually read an Agatha Christie novel in 1988. I knew I had read some of her short stories but a novel was… wait for it… a novel experience!

This was a great read, fast paced, slightly ludicrous, with a generous dose of solid English upper-class twittery.

“You don’t have a silly name like Pobbles do you? Fancy being Mrs. Pobbles.”

Secret passages, coded treasure maps, villains lurking in the yew hedges. Good, solid, proper, tea-and-crumpets fiction.

This book made me want to: buy a country house
