Not exactly like other AC books I have read. There were too many characters. While few were described well, few others did not get the required mileage and I was left asking for more e.g. Jeremy & Lionel Cloade characters were not explored much and same about their wives. Why would you include them in the first place in the plot - just to introduce more kin so that mystery element is maintained? Explanation towards the end felt very rushed & I was able to predict the killer which was a dampener.
