Thirteen Guests | J. Jefferson Farjeon
5 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
On a fine autumn weekend Lord Aveling hosts a hunting party at his country house, Bragley Court. Among the guests are an actress, a journalist, an artist and a mystery novelist. The unlucky thirteenth is John Foss, injured at the local train station and brought to the house to recuperate - but John is nursing a secret of his own. Soon events take a sinister turn when a painting is mutilated, a dog stabbed and a man strangled. Death strikes more than one of the house guests, and the police are called. Detective Inspector Kendall's skills are tested to the utmost as he tries to uncover the hidden past of everyone at Bragley Court.

I really enjoyed this story. It was subtly different from a traditional country house murder.

Confusing. Not very suspenseful and I just kept waiting for it to be over. Interesting plot point towards the very end but otherwise it was very bland. Characters were flat, dialogue seemed to go in circles and honestly I was expecting more death. The synopsis was a bit misleading. I‘ll just stick to Agatha Christie for now.

LauraBrook @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled.com Usually I buy books to make sure I have a copy easily accessible and will eventually get around to it, typically years later. I don't think I can wait for this one! Once I'm caught up on review books and current reads, it'll be next! 8y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @LauraBrook I hear ya - Ive had books in my stack for years. Eventually, I WILL read all of them. I buy a lot faster than I read! 8y
