Dear Agatha,
What if Mrs. Boynton from Appointment with Death had hooked up with Simeon Lee from this book? Holy cow - talk about dysfunctional families led by a sadistic figure. This book actually felt very similar to AWD - hated head of the family dies, every member benefits, every family member a potential suspect. Yet this one went a step further with another common theme of yours - people aren't who they say they are.It wasn't until a chapter or two in that I realized I'd read this before - and what it was that made me remember was Lydia tending one of her creative garden landscapes. I am blessed (or cursed, depending on the scenario) with a very bad memory, but it is a blessing when rereading books because I still didn't know the ending, the culprit, or anything! But yeah - it was part of an anthology I'd picked up a few years ago called Murder for Christmas.
Anyway, dear friend (I would so like to consider you a friend, if I may), thanks again for the fun. I love to hang out with you and hear your stories.
Always,
Beth
