Read 2 times. Last read June 28, 2020 to August 25, 2020.
I first read this when it came out in 1978 or ‘79. I loved it. That said, it turns out I had almost no recollection of anything but knowing what the clues are all about.
I read it to my son and he really enjoyed it, but was slightly disappointed by the ending. It is a very subtle and unspectacular finish to an exciting and eventful story. But fitting somehow. I really enjoyed reading it aloud to him.

I have since altered my review, since you are right, Kirsty and it doesn’t hurt a thing to fix it.
I’ve had a couple books ruined for me today by people giving away far too much, and then admitting it later that it might be a spoiler. Not helpful once the cat is out of the bag.
