Very complicated, but good. Loved Christie's solution!
A wonderful murder mystery from the 1930's with each chapter written by a different author of "detective" stories, then solutions provided by each in the appendix. Most chapters flow well from one to the next, despite the authors having different writing styles in their own novels.
A true "whodunit" in the style of Agatha Christie, the variety of endings show how the clues could lead in a variety of directions. A lot of fun to read!

An interesting experiment, with some chapters better than others (the 30+ page chapter Thirty-nine Articles of Doubt by Ronald A. Knox was especially tiresome.) The one written by Clemence Dane was especially nicely written and made me look for other books by the author (sadly, none was available). The solutions by most of the contributing authors are interesting but by this time all the clues and laid out facts were just a jumble, so I found myself skimming a lot. Nice try, though.
