ポケットにライ麦を (クリスティー文庫)

Christie’s mysteries are renowned for their clever plots and red herrings. I wonder what sparked her ideas for this particular case.

There were parts where the story felt a bit slow, but I’m curious if that was a deliberate choice to build tension or just the flow of the narrative.

The confined, classic setting adds to the suspense, but I wonder if Christie chose it to mirror traditional detective stories or for another reason.
