Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Suspense, mystery, romance, and an agreeable touch of the macabre.” The Guardian (London)
“One of Agatha Christie’s best mystery novels, a story fascinating in its plot, clever and lively in its characters, and brilliant in its technique.” New York Times
“Actor Hugh Fraser…handles the many levels of the British class structure with a deft and delicate touch and whisks you around the English countryside with grace.” AudioFile
“The story’s interest is unflagging, and the end brings excitement as well as surprise. New York Times Book Review
“Archetypal Mayhem Parva story, with all the best ingredients: Cranford-style village with ‘about six women to every man’; doctors, lawyers, retired colonels, and antique dealers; suspicions of black magic; and, as optional extra ingredient, a memorably awful press lord. And of course a generous allowance of sharp old spinsters. Shorter than most on detection, perhaps because the detection is, until the end, basically amateur. One of the classics.” Robert Barnard, English crime writer and critic
