Kittys Notes & Book Snippet

From the Dust Jacket: "This is Agatha Christie's 49th detective story. It is 29 years since her first was published, yet custom cannot stale her infinite variety, and we have little hesitation asserting that if this new story is not the best she has ever done then it is only second to that classic of detection, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. It is certainly a remarkable witness to her unfailing verve, that when she is nearing her half-century she should still be able to knock one slap over the top of the pavilion to the fervent applause of her crowd of admirers.

The old jingle ' all lived together in a little crooked house' here applies to the three generations of the Leonides who lived together under the sheltering roof of Three Gables -- a large household over whom the very old and very rich Aristide Leonides had long presided ; not that there was anything about the very respectable Leonides that was crooked in the dishonest sense, but nonetheless all its members had grown up a little bit twisted in their outlook on life...."

An all time great murder mystery from the Queen of Crime who ruled throughout the 20th century Agatha Christie. A rip-roaring romp sure to be loved by fans of this classic vintage crime fiction genre.
