This review is from: The Choice (Black Dagger Crime Series) (Hardcover)

One of the author's more forgettable tales. The unprovable impossible murder of Mrs. Hale-Storford provokes the wholesale massacre of the cardboard cut-outs staying in the house, one of them by a good method which John Rhode would later expand on in In Face of the Verdict, but, despite its extreme shortness, the book runs out of steam well before the end, becoming a thrillerish manhunt with much rushing about by rail and car, rather than ratiocination and deduction. The solution to the original "murder" turns out a disappointment.
