Nemesis by Agatha Christie
3.0
Major spring vibes on this English country garden and historical home tour. Jane is recruited by her recently deceased “friend” to solve a mystery… maybe… but has no context and no clues.
There is commentary galore on justice, for better or worse, and it’s a bit of a slut-shaming read full of hot takes from older characters about how rape isn’t murder and we wouldn’t want to ruin boys potential. I found it to be eerily and frustratingly accurate, but I appreciate some of the attempt at nuance even if it was weak at best. Themes of accountability and objectivity that almost hit. It’s cozy, for sure despite some gruesome crimes, and I did enjoy the “three sisters” and the gimmick of Jane not actually knowing the crime going into the trip.
