Well, I nearly didn't buy this book because of the number of reviewers who revealed who the killer was. I thought what's the point in buying a "whodunit" when you already know the answer before you've opened the front cover. Anyway I read the preview, I liked the style of writing and I was intrigued so I decided to go ahead & purchase the book. I'm glad I did as I really enjoyed it. I found it really hard to put down. I wondered whether I would have guessed who the culprit was & if so, at what point in the book would I have realised. That, I'll never know. Like other reviewers I would have liked to know what the outcome was for the culprit, I think that would have rounded the book off. Otherwise it was a very good read.
