Christianna Brand's Heads You Lose
Sarah Weinman mentioned another book in this series recently, and I'm always looking for classic mysteries, but wanted to start from the beginning. I did almost put this down due to some casual antisemitism, but it seemed limited to one unpleasant character so I moved on, since I was enjoying the writing otherwise (sadly, the casual antisemitism does recur throughout). Anyway, the mystery involves a dead woman and the main suspects are the six friends/relations staying at a house, which is my favorite kind of mystery, but the ending was sooooo ridiculous, like reallllllly silly. Giving this a B.
