The famous story opens with a blinding snowstormtrapping a small group of owners and guests in an isolated estate, recentlyre-purposed as a country inn. Although not aware of it, they are also trapped bya homicidal maniac! Out of this deceptively simple set-up, Agatha Christiefashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers which, in turn, provided the basisfor "The Mousetrap," the longest-running play in history.
The book includes this classic and eight moredeliciously clever gems (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot, Miss JaneMarple and Harley Quin). The inimitable Christie at her inventive best -proving her reputation as "the champion deceiver of our time." TheNew York Times
