A childish practical joke? Or a hoax intended to scare poor Letitia Blacklock? Unable to resist the mysterious invitation, a crowd begins to gather at Little Paddocks at the appointed time when, without warning, the lights go out...

About Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie wasn’t just a writer—she was the Queen of Clues, the Duchess of Deception, and the ultimate puzzle-master of mystery!

Born in England in 1890, she went from writing stories during wartime to becoming one of the best-selling authors ever. (Like, seriously—she's sold over 2 billion books. That’s billion with a B!)

Her genius? Creating twisty, turny whodunits that keep readers guessing until the very last page. Think secretive butlers, mysterious train rides, and a whole lot of suspicious characters with something to hide.

Her most famous creations—Hercule Poirot, the ultra-observant detective with a mustache as sharp as his mind, and Miss Marple, the sweet granny-next-door who solves crimes with tea and intuition—have become legends in their own right.

But Agatha didn’t just write mysteries—she lived one! She once vanished for 11 days in a real-life mystery that baffled even the police (yes, really). When she wasn’t plotting fictional murders, she was traveling the world, digging up ancient ruins with her archaeologist husband, and collecting inspiration for even more thrilling tales.

If you love smart twists, clever clues, and characters you’ll never forget, Agatha Christie is your go-to. Just don’t try to outsmart her… she’s probably three steps ahead of you already.

A mystery that keeps you second guessing!

Such a thrilling mystery...written beautifully. Always love Agatha Christie novels. First book I ever read of hers was Murder of Roger Ackroyd. A murder announced introduces many peculiar, fascinating and hilarious characters. Once a murder occurs in such a strange manner....you keep on speculating who could have done it and what was their motive.
