The Love Detectives by Agatha Christie
Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks (September 2011)
34 pages, eBook (purchased myself for $0.99)
Book Rating: 4 Stars
In this story about a man murdered in his library, Mr. Quin and Mr. Satterthwaite join Colonel Melrose as he makes his inquiries and looks over the scene of the crime. This story, more than any other Quin and Satterthwaite story I've read, is a more traditionally constructed murder mystery investigation, but is still solved in their usual conversational style. If you are attempting to read the Quin stories in order, this one is said to take place after At the "Bells and Motley" (which is included in the collection The Mysterious Mr. Quin), but I don't think there is any reason why it couldn't be read out of order. Good short mystery story!
