Dr. Edmund Birkleigh never really loved his wife but it wasn't until a summer's tennis party that he decided to kill her. And we know that from the opening line of the book. The rest of the book takes us through the actual murder, the investigation, the trial, and the twist.
This was an okay story but not one of my favorites from the crime classics. Plodded in places and I did end up skimming quite a bit.
