What to expect

Sir George and Lady Stubbs, the hosts of a village fete, hit upon the novel idea of staging a mock murder mystery. In good faith Ariadne Oliver, the well known crime writer, agrees to organise their murder hunt.

Despite weeks of meticulous planning , at the last minute Ariadne calls her friend Hercule Poirot for his expert assistance. Instinctively, she senses that something sinister is about to happen…

Beware – nobody is quite what they seem!

"The infallibly original Agatha Christie has come up, once again, with a new and highly ingenious puzzle-construction."
'New York Times'

"The solution is of the colossal ingenuity we have been conditioned to expect."
