This was inspired by a true crime... Lord Lucan (Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan) allegedly murdered the nanny before attacking his wife in 1974, then disappeared. He was never found and was declared dead in 1999 (but the death certificate wasn’t issued until 2016, allowing his son to inherit his titles). I think knowing this greatly improved my enjoyment of this novel.
I listened to the audiobook, which I highly recommend. I also had access to the ebook; there are floor plans for the two lowest floors, as well as an elevation view. There are 6 levels: the basement and the ground floor is the crime scene, as well as the setting for the book, and 4 upper floors.
The author has created an interactive mystery with the reader playing the part of the detective investigating the 50-year-old case at first, but then is replaced by a character, and then the evidence is presented as a trial. I’m not sure where fact and fiction meet or transform, but I enjoyed this version of the story.
