I've been slow and sluggish lately, but I've just finished this one last night. I'm used to the writing style as it reminds me of other Golden age type mysteries, especially British style. Interesting twist at the end, I was thinking along something of those lines but never could have guessed the full reveal. For some reason they story did not hold my interest some of the time, despite the characters being decent and the mystery a true mindbender. I think some of it was too much reliance on dialogue scenes without much break in between with action or new twists, and the characters - being the old fashioned and proper types - blended a bit together for me. 3/ 5 stars from me.
