Review: At the Villa Rose

At the Villa Rose At the Villa Rose by A.E.W. Mason
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An unusual structure for a mystery story: the criminals are identified and captured just over half-way through the book, after which we get a (rather horrific) sequential account of how their crime unfolded. They're cruel and brutal, and honestly it's more than I bargained for. Then a chapter or two of how the detective figured it out.

It's a clever crime cleverly detected, but too dark for me.
