I don't spend much time trying to figure out detective stories; I usually just go along for the ride. In this one, however, I had a pet theory that turned out to be 180 degrees from the actual solution. Nick and Nora Charles weren't quite as fascinating and witty as I expected them to be, but there was enough snappy dialogue to keep interest high through a quite labyrinthine mystery. Of course when Charles explains it all in the last chapter it sounds so very simple.
