Yeah, 3 stars is about right. Not a bad story, but not great. No one's very memorable, or they're trying too hard to be.
Ruth senses bad vibes
has a bloodhound sniff ‘em out
such thorough stagecraft.
It was a fine book by the Queen of crime fiction. Most of the interesting part was in the later part of the book.
