For a book that was written 100 years ago, it still feels relatively fresh and ingenious with its plot. This is the fourth or fifth book in the Sheringham Chronicles, you don't miss out on a lot of story from the previous books. 

I liked the fact that this mystery had a unique premise, in the sense that we're not given all the facts, but instead we learn them as we go along. If you are someone who likes crime stories, and you are into your crime fiction history, then this is a good book for you. 

This is also a unique novel in terms of who the killer is, and I loved the plot-twist from the original story. Christina Brand's version was alright, however, I didn't like the ending by Martin Edwards. I felt that it was such a cop out

to add another character who wasn't the original plot to be the murderer.
