描述
There's Rosemary, that's for remembrance.
Published in 1945, Sparkling Cyanide is all about remembrance. It begins with six characters recalling the horrific death of Rosemary Barton, a beautiful but shallow young heiress poisoned by a cyanide-spiked glass of champagne whilst celebrating her birthday at a smart London restaurant. Rosemary haunts all six characters, each of them a suspect, throughout the story and it s not until her killer is found and her ghost laid to rest that the group can move on, though they will never forget. With a distinguished cast including Peter Wight and Amanda Drew, this wonderfully entertaining production retains the thrill of Agatha Christie s clever, compulsive story."

Agatha Christie finds yet another way to surprise me with her endings. This one looked a little bit too crafted like most of what actually happened is pure speculation based solely on what the characters are saying - there isn't any actual proof that it happened in the book beyond what is said. In previous books, the outcome is easier to believe. Still, I enjoyed the book, and even though it gets slow in the middle with certain situations that never get mentioned again, it gains speed at the end. I devoured the last chapters wanting to get to the unfolding of the murder.
