But that is exactly my issue. I think that revealing the murderer was betraying the tone and feel she had established. To me this one felt a lot more like a horror book than her other books.

And thanks, i will check it out

Also, if she had published a story without revealing the kidder, Murder of Roger Ackroyd would have immediately been relegated to "second most controversial mystery by Agatha Christie"

Note that Poisoned Chocolate Case is sort of a satire of murder mysteries, it almost makes fun of the genre.
