I loved the book but I didn't love the book spoilers. Did you ever consider placing a short note at the beginning of the book, warning about the spoilers ahead? I would have read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (which was waiting on my shelf) BEFORE this one. Now the book is ruined and I will never read it. Very, very disappointed.

Hi Gina,
Dear Gina,
Fair question. To be honest I never thought of adding a specific spoiler warning to the book, but maybe I should have done just that. I think I'm one of those rare readers who is not particularly bothered by having plot points in books spoiled. I'm pretty sure I read Roger Ackroyd knowing the ending already, for example. Still, I know I'm in the minority.
I'm sorry to have disappointed you. Anyone reading this response should now know that my book contains spoilers for some classic crime fiction. My recommendation: Read those classic crime novels first!
And, Gina, if you're looking for a Christie novel with a great ending, try Crooked House. Much less famous, and I like it better than Roger Ackroyd. Thanks for reading, and thanks for your question, Peter
