I liked this! Family drama plus murder, what's not to like? One piece of nepotistic strangeness is that the narrator is the son of a Scotland Yard person, and engaged to a member of the family that experienced the murder, and yet, all the family members spoke freely to him without totally questioning what the hell he was doing in the house post-murder asking such nosy questions? That's a minor point, however. I felt surprised, although not shocked, by the end, and appreciated the clip at which this little mystery moved along.
