No, this isn‘t the most captivating mystery, but I like the intermingled motives, the use of a community to solve the murder instead of a single, quirky detective and a surprisong ending. Love thinking about where it fits in the development of the mystery novel. BTW, I have a hunch that Jessica Fletcher of Murder She Wrote was an homage to this author.

Mehso-so

The majority of Goodreads reviews give this 3 or 4 stars, so I'm wondering what I'm missing 🕵🏽‍♀️ A Golden Age mystery that I thought would have some creepy Gothic vibes or at the very least, an interesting mystery, but it was rather meh. I honestly found the early chapters with all the build-up to be more interesting than the later chapters with all the action. Nothing about this was particularly memorable or entertaining, sadly. #serialreader

rabbitprincess Fair. I have this one in my Read Later queue on Serial Reader, so I'll see what it's like! 5y
batsy @rabbitprincess Others seem to have enjoyed it quite a bit more than me, so I hope it's the same for you! 5y
