I found this one to be delightful. Plenty of twists and red herrings to keep the reader guessing, as always. Bobby and Frankie were cute and fun - they reminded me a bit of Tommy and Tuppence, who I adore. I find Emilia Fox's narration to be hit or miss in audiobooks, but she was entertaining here.

Book three in [b:Agatha Christie: Five Complete Murder Mysteries|140332|Agatha Christie Five Complete Murder Mysteries (Secret Adversary/Murder of Roger Ackroyd/Boomerang Clue/Moving Finger/Death Comes as the End)|Agatha Christie|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266481020s/140332.jpg|117094]. Another book I hadn't read before with a spunky female and her childhood friend as detective. Like The Secret Adversary - but with different(ish) characters. This one was quite surprising at the end and I really didn't see it coming. Not that I spend a long time trying to figure out the mysteries myself. I'm usually so engaged in the books that I read right to the end without evening stopping to think. I think I can see why they changed the title of this book to "Why didn't they ask Evans?" as I'm not sure what the boomerang clue is referencing really. Although I guess the dying message (see above) is at the very beginning of the story and then again at the end...perhaps that's what she meant with the title...?
