Summary
Six people sit down to a sumptuous meal at a table laid for seven. In front of the empty place is a sprig of rosemary- “rosemary for remembrance.” A strange sentiment considering no one is likely to forget the night, exactly a year ago, that Rosemary Barton died at exactly the same table, her beautiful face unrecognizable, convulsed with pain and horror.

Review
This one surprised me, not really in the crime itself but more because I discovered that this story is based on a short story, Yellow Iris, which Agatha Christie rewrote to create this story.
Sadly, I didn’t find the culprit for this story. It’s a more complex story than I thought, and the problem is that some characters appear more than others. So it’s more challenging to make an idea about them, you just have the view of the people that know them.
Also, as I know the storyline of Yellow Iris, I sometimes mixed the two stories while reading it. This makes me like a little less the story than I should have.
One more book read from Agatha Christie; I can’t wait to continue!
Liz.
