Cheap satin and peroxide blondes were a rare sight in St. Mary Mead, at least before film-man Basil Blake bought a cottage and invited down the London crowd. Then a girl in a garish get-up is found strangled in Colonel Bantry's library, and it appears Basil is involved.

This was a good mystery, and there were enough clues, hints, and red herrings to keep you guessing the whole time.

However, the actual happenings feel a little contrived and made up, that it was a little hard to believe what the actual solution to the 'whodunnit' was.

It's still a great read though, so I do recommend it, but definitely one of Christie's weaker works.
