"Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens ..."

Carlos Ruiz Zafon (The Shadow of the Wind)

Synopsis

"I like a good detective story, but they begin in the wrong place! They begin with the murder. But the murder is the end. The story begins long before that." So remarks esteemed criminologist Mr. Treves. Truer words have never been spoken, for a psychopathic killer has insinuated himself , with cunning manipulation, into a quiet village on the river Tern. But who is his intended victim? What are his unfathomable motives? And how and when will he reach the point of murder...the zero point? In the ingenious and noteworthy departure for Agatha Christie, it's the intricate workings of a pathological mind that becomes the stuff of startling mystery as group of friends at a seaside resort remain blithely unaware that their weekend will be the death of them all...

As I am reading Christie in order this needs to sit on the shelf a bit.

I read the Prologue this morning. I will probably finish this book on my plane ride to Denver tomorrow.

Oh my! I forgot to journal this book when I finished it.

I finished reading this book on my trip.

It was an enjoyable Chrisitie with a slight twist of having the victim describe how mystery novels start in the wrong place.

I finished this some time ago and have mailed to a nonBC friend who will mail to my brother.

sorry to take so long to journal
