Did I guess every plot point from about chapter 3? Yes. Was it still exactly what I wanted? Also yes.
Particularly liked the single-room aspect of the mystery; I think there's only one scene in which we leave the office as the reader. This gave the story an interesting twist to what's otherwise a pretty standard Mrs Christie novel. There's one particular character who wouldn't be written the way they are written if the book was written now (yeesh) but otherwise a good, engaging read.

A couple of twists, a victim mourned by nobody, and a cop whose penchant for poetry never gets explored. It’s Agatha Christie, I got what I came for. Four stars.
