Novel twist.

I just finished reading Cloud of Witnesses by Dorothy L Sayers. I found it in the cull of my parents bookshelves. It is a murder mystery novel, but in the end… it wasn't a murder. It was a suicide. Which was such a let-down. Crime books always resolve with catching the bad guy, and that's what gives you the sense of resolution and "all's well". A nasty minor character was hit by a bus, but that's not the same thing.
