'By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes.'
MACBETH
When Tommy and Tuppence visit an elderly aunt in her gothic nursing home, they think nothing of her mistrust of the doctors; after all Ada is a very difficult old lady.
But when Mrs Lockett mentions a poisoned mushroom stew and Mrs Lancaster talks about 'something behind the fireplace', Tommy and Tuppence find themselves caught up in an unexpected adventure involving a strange inheritance, a mysterious house, black magic, a missing tombstone - and almost death for the redoutable Tuppence...

Agatha Christie is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English with another billion in 100 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time and in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels written under the name of Mary Westmacott.
Agatha Christie's first novel, The Mystery Affair of Styles, was written towards the end of the First World War, in which she served as a VAD. In it she created Hercule Poirot, the little Belgian detective who was destined to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. It was eventually published by The Bodley Head in 1920.
In 1926, after averaging a book a year, Agatha Christie wrote her masterpiece. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was the first of her books to be published by Collins and marked the beginning of an author-publisher relationship which lasted for 50 years and well over 70 books. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was also the first of Agatha Christie's books to be dramatised - under the name Alibi - and to have a successful run in London's West End. The Mousetrap, her most famous play of all, opened in 1952 and is the longest-running play in history.
Agatha Christie was made a Dame in 1971. She died in 1976, since when a number of books have been published posthumously: the bestselling novel Sleeping Murder appeared later that year, followed by her autobiography and the short story collection Miss Marple's Final Cases, Problem at Pollensa Bay and While the Light Lasts. In 1998 Black Coffee was the first of her plays to be novelised by another author, Charles Osborne.

阿婆的这个系列总是无爱!阿婆但是一定很喜欢这对,所以总是极尽详细的描写!逻辑和方法对于侦探是多么重要! tuppence is such a stupid woman!
评分I had a hunch who the murderer is, later I thought there are just too many unassuming details to nail down the murderer, and I'm RIGHT. Btw, 2 Brother Grimm tales are mentioned in this book: red riding hood, hensel and gretel. They do ring a bell, of those good old reading times at my grandma's when i was little, isn't it nice!!
评分The story starts appealingly and ends in an even more unexpectedly ingenious way.
评分嗯,以后别人再玩“先入为主”,都要想想阿婆已经玩成这样了,轻巧有效,一击即中。还有特别漂亮的闲来一笔:在乔西爵士的记忆中,年轻时的艾达美得仿佛画中仙子,他们有过花前月下的时光,但是最终分开了,并且没有再见过面。“过了几年,我听一个家伙说她是他看过的最丑的女人,真是不敢相信。不过我现在觉得后来没见过她也许是件值得庆幸的事。”(第一篇书评提了这笔八卦)
评分原版,一半是在公司到家里的路上走路读的。 拖沓有一点点 但是看的过程吸引,文字引人入胜
年少时候读古龙与金庸,基本都过了一遍。至今仍念念不忘《绝代双娇》的首段,而《楚留香》里关于白玉美人的一段描写现在也能顺口而出。但是想来古龙作品中我能记住的,除了这两段也基本上只剩几个人名了。倒是金庸七上八下的15部作品,而今大都情节清楚,结局明白。 眼前阿婆...

评分比较喜欢的一本书,虽然书封如此阴森,其中确不乏温情。 自己也时常有女主那处寻微探幽的念头,也对曾经的某处空间留有一生无法释怀的某种情结。 夫妇间平实真切的关心和温情,烤鸡的小伙子可笑的智慧,最终的真相残忍也令人动容。 算是一本好书。
