REVIEW: Sparkling Cyanide (Agatha Christie)

Book: Sparkling Cyanide

Author: Agatha Christie

Premise: Six people sit down at a table laid for seven. In front of the empty place is a sprig of rosemary - "for remembrance." A strange sentiment considering no one is likely to forget the night, exactly a year ago, that Rosemary Barton died at exactly the same table, her face convulsed with pain and horror.

This story comes in two parts really. The first half of the book sets the scene, introduces the characters and their relationship with the late Rosemary Barton. The second half is where the detective work starts. There are lots of twists as pretty much everyone has a motive. I didn't guess who did it and there was a good amount of jeopardy right at the end. Really enjoyable mystery
