Не совсем удачное исполнение
Несмотря на интересный замысел, "Драма в Гриффин-холле" оставила у меня смешанные чувства. С одной стороны, идея о семейной драме и убийстве на фоне уикенда выглядит многообещающе, но, к сожалению, реализация оказалась не столь удачной. Персонажи не всегда выглядят убедительно, а их мотивации порой кажутся натянутыми. Инспектор Оливер, хоть и энергичный, иногда ведет себя слишком предсказуемо, и его взаимодействие с близнецами Адамсон не всегда вызывает интерес. Кроме того, некоторые сюжетные повороты были слишком очевидными, и я предсказал развязку задолго до финала. Книга может подойти тем, кто просто ищет лёгкое чтение, но для настоящих любителей детективов, возможно, будет недостаточно глубокой и захватывающей.
