I bought this book because, citing a review from the Glasgow Evening Times, the dust jacket says: "If Christmas puts you in the mood for a good Agatha Christie, try Perry." As a hardcore fan of Agatha Christie, who has read all of her novels, I have to say that, in retrospective, I am offended by this claim. Perry's crime is so boring that I was not able to finish it. I just skipped half of the book and read who was the murder. That would never happen to me in case of Christie...
