SynopsisAgatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time with her works outsold only by Shakespeare and the Bible. She is regarded by generations of fans as the greatest mystery writer ever, and her novels are read and cherished the world over. Clarissa, the young wife of a Foreign Office Diplomat, delights in tweaking the sensibilities of her more serious friends and for playing a game she calls "supposing" - imagining a difficult situation and figuring out how people would respond. But Clarissa's lighthearted game becomes deadly serious when she discovers the dead body of an unknown person in her own drawing room. If that wasn't bad enough, her husband is on the way home with an important foreign politician and the attendant scandal of the dead body would irrevocably damage his career at the very least. Therefore, Clarissa decides to dispose of the body and persuades her three houseguests to help. But before she can get the body off the premises, a policeman arrives at her front door. The police received an anonymous tip about a murder in the house and have shown up to investigate. Now Clarissa must keep the body hidden, convince the skeptical police inspector that there has been no murder, and, in the meantime, find out who has been murdered, why, and what the body is doing in her house. Originally written by Agatha Christie as a play in 1954, now rendered as a novel by Charles Osborne, Spider's Web is a compelling tale of murder and deceit sure to entertain and amuse the legions of Christie's fans worldwide., Adapted from Christie's play The Unexpected Guest .

Disappointed ohh Disappointed y
I haven’t read the book but the condition of the book is not good. I will however keep the book to read and try to remove some of the mildew-like blackened areas on some pages. It is also bent and has water damage. This is just an observation. I am satisfied.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Unexpected results in solving mystery!
The "Queen" of mystery develops an intricate plot where the character reinvents himself & adds to the mysterious nature of the murder of Richard Warwick.......the ending is pure A.G. in that it is hard to spot the perk until the last chapter......Always a surprise & shock in the outcome.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
