"Interesting case where everything turns on which witness has the most accurate memory of what times they arrived at specific locations. Everything turns on if whether the clock was five minutes fast or slow, since the window for the defendant to have committed the murders is only 20 minutes. That said, the writer's need to explore tangents and insert strange and slightly biased commentary, was a bit distracting. There are several pages dedicated to a murder in Florida that occurred around the same time, simply because the defendant married into a family involved in that case, it had no relation to the main story. The writer also had an annoying habit of repeating mantras such as: "Argh! Where is Agatha Christie with her cuckoo clock when we need her," and "time is relative Einstein and Agatha Christie should talk about this one." Weird."
