I felt this was an ok read, although a little too long. A lot of the narrative is the police Inspector relaying what his friend (who was at the fateful bridge game) told him, and I felt no one had that good a memory to be retelling details. Unlike 99% of the mysteries I read I actually figured out the murderer right away, although the method used was a bit of a stretch. Also, a few extraneous side-trips (like the episode with the fingerprint expert) were tedious.
