Decent but uneven

I liked it more than I expected to, despite the flaws. Glad I gave it a chance.

Book synopsis
Renowned criminology expert Mr. Treves proposes that a murder is not the beginning of a story, but the culmination of disparate events converging toward a single point in time. As various individuals—a bitter man who survived a suicide attempt, a meticulous planner of a perfect crime, and a schoolgirl accused of theft—move through their lives, their paths begin to align. This psychological mystery explores the hidden causes and human errors that lead toward the inevitable 'Zero Hour.'

- Explore the philosophy that a crime is the final result of long-converging paths.
- Follow the investigations of the stoic and methodical Superintendent Battle.
- Witness the chilling preparation of a carefully detailed and 'foolproof' murder plan.
- Understand how minor coincidences and human weaknesses build toward a tragic climax.
- Enjoy a classic Agatha Christie mystery focused on psychological depth and timing.

Finished it in a weekend and immediately looked for more by the same author. Great for a quiet evening.
