Book description
A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the
first time as an ebook.
Years ago, a murder was committed on the night of a costume party
thrown by Sir Richard Haydon, a man who was a rival of his cousin Eliot
for the affections of the lovely Diana Ashley. Sir Richard's estate
contained the grove of Astarte, which held a mysterious stone summer
house. The summer house was rumoured to have been the site of numerous
sacred rites in years long past, and in a surprise act, Diana enacted
the role of Astarte, startling Sir Richard who stumbled and fell. When
the others reached him body, he was found dead of a knife wound to the
heart. After all these years, can the Club still solve the case? 'The
plots are so good that one marvels … most of them would have made a full
length thriller.' Daily Mirror 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 over 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, 20 plays, and six novels written
under the name of Mary Westmacott.
