The missing child subject is hard for me to read, though it's interesting that it's told from another child's perspective.

So your "oft-disturbing" description caught my eye. Sounds like an interesting read. I'll add it to the list! I tend to be a fan of darker books. So your “oft-disturbing” description caught my eye.

Of course, it is always easier to SEEM less predictable when you don't have such a huge oeuvre in which people can spot your patterns.

This was one of my first Christies, so I was absolutely floored by the resolution, but on subsequent rereads it has been rather obvious. I still do love it, though, because I find many of the characters fascinating, and I think she created quite a cast here. As soon as I have an open reading moment, though, I do want to try your Julie Hyzy recommendation. Is she less predictable (for lack of a more nuanced word) than Christie? Too funny!

It's a shame that we have to take holidays from her, but it's so true....
