This novel opens with a meeting of lawyerly minds (which you can see, incidentally, here), in which the title is explained. I, at least, am generally incorrect several times over because the plots of her books tend to double back on themselves so often.
But it did have one of the most important Christie trademarks: a twisty-turny puzzle-plot that begs for the reader to try solving the crime before the end of the book. I had never heard of Towards Zero, and it involves neither Hercule Poirot nor Miss Marple.
I’m sure somebody out there doesn’t like Agatha Christie, but they have yet to tell me to my face.
After my disappointment with going outside my known tastes, I have switched back to a tried-and-true.
