'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.

读前面觉得Tommy和Tuppence这对夫妇有点絮叨,结尾大逆转,并且小惊悚,完全没猜到。阿婆的语言虽然简洁明快,但有很多典型英式的智慧又有寓意的吐槽还是很值得玩味的。#路人转粉
评分The story starts appealingly and ends in an even more unexpectedly ingenious way.
评分语言和场景当然是浓浓的英伦风,可是总觉得情节介入有些牵强,为了把案子写成才放进来的感觉。嗯,没看完也不想看了。
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!!

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。
评分有时我觉得根据英文地名音译过来的名称很难记,有点不伦不类,听着像是假洋鬼子一样让人难以接受,但之所以记得这部书是因为故事情节中出现的让我影响深刻的一个对白,是由看到《麦克白》这个书名后,男主人公不由说起其中的著名诗句“tomorrow,tomorrow and tomorrow,...
评分人文的这套里,这本是汤米杜本丝夫妇最后一次出场了,《命运之门》似乎是发生在后来,但不知为啥没有收录。 这一本里,汤米和杜本丝貌似比《密码》里年纪更大了。结尾处杜本丝在危机时刻突然惊惶地意识到:可是我也老了……我没有信心打败她…… 看到这里有点伤感。 但是也...
