Attaccata alle pagine dall'inizio alla fine anche con questo libro, e d'altronde come tutti i libri di Dicker che ho letto

At Hotel du Lac there‘s several other rich, English women. In a way this atmosphere reminded me of a Poirot crime without the crime.
Edith gets to know the other women, and suddenly there‘s a man there, a Mr Neville
The view on unmarried women reminded me a
