Murder Chez Proust : An Arcade Mystery Paperback

Rating:
Summary: Agatha-esque quality
Review: This is a good Agatha Christie style mystery, though I was able to correctly determine the guilty party halfway through the book (something I fail to do when reading Poirot...so this should provide for you a good gauge of the book's mystique). What is remarkable about this book, and what I think was omitted above in the reviews, is that it was written by the real life editor of The Friends of Marcel Proust and Combray society's bulletin, Elyane Dezon-Jones. Her descriptions of Proust's home make you feel like you are really there. When this book was first published, in French, it caused a stir amoung the Society's members, most notably with association's real life Secretary. Can you guess who the book's first murder victim was...?
