4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating plot and setting, but ultimately unconvincing, 13 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This whodunnit has two very strong parts: its intriguing setting, and its complex, twisting plot.

The setting is a military hospital in Kent during World War II, and rings true (the book was written during the war) without ever getting in the way.

The plot is fascinating: it twists and turns in all directions as first the author convinces you that any one of the suspects could be the culprit, and then just as validly convinces you that NONE of them could have done it. Particulary intriguing are the scenes where the suspects discuss amongst themselves how they could be guilty.

This book is worth reading for the writing: the unfolding of the mystery, the characters, the setting, an intriguing "howdunnit", and a unexpected end. Unfortunately, the revelation of the murderer's identity and motivation is unconvincing, making the denouement disappointing after such a good build-up.
