In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a small table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell out a chilling message: 'Captain Trevelyan... dead... murder.'
Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six miles away and, with snow drifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot...
'An excellent book to take away for a weekend reading.' New York Times
'You can't go wrong with this one, certainly the best of the always high-grade Christie items in quite some time.' Books
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.

2009.6.2讀完 殺人凶手也太好猜瞭... 居然能給繞這麼大一個圈子... 結局部分好感人。他沒有我能活,所以我要選擇一個沒有我不能活的..
評分重讀;這本雖然談不上精彩,但是非常適閤給學寫作的人看,就是如何將一個極其簡單的點子和相對貧瘠的素材變成一個長篇的過程;四個親戚、六棟bunglow,硬生生造齣各種聯係和一堆嫌疑人,而死者的背景,迴過頭來看,是如此的簡單,甚至是太弱瞭,難怪ITV的電視改編硬加瞭曆史、身份、過往戀情,還把凶手都改瞭;不過添加嫌疑人的過程也是寫作典範,Percehouse老太太、殘疾人暴躁大叔、開旅館的夫婦,包括兢兢業業的探長都有趣且有效,最後纔露麵的Mr. Duke簡直神來之筆,觀鳥大叔的設定有些崩瞭,第二次降靈會顯得有些多餘;所以總結,越是這種未必精彩的小說越容易看齣點子生發的過程,也是珍貴的材料。

評分確實不是阿婆小說中的上乘之作,但是看看也很有意思,也不能要求每本都是經典之作,要不後來之人還有飯吃?
評分murder at hazelmoor(american edition)
N个月前——N怕是大于等于6哟——我就已经不记得我有好多本人文版的阿加莎了,但是还能凭借比较强悍的记忆力记得书店里哪些是我买了的哪些还没有下手。N个星期以前——N怕是大于等于3——我买了这本斯塔夫特疑案,上周末我读完了,然后陷入一阵轻度抓狂的空虚当中。 这本书,...
評分 評分1930年,40岁的阿加莎•克里斯蒂与比她年轻14岁的马克斯•马洛温步入婚姻的殿堂。在1931年出版的小说《斯塔福特疑案》的题记中写道:“献给马克斯•埃德加•马洛温,我曾经与他讨论本书的情节,以回应身边的人们对我们的告诫。” 波洛和马普尔小姐无疑是阿加莎小说里...
評分我看完以后只对两处印象最深——开头很吸引人:一群身份不同,心怀鬼胎的人在大雪围困的老宅中玩通灵游戏,应该就是后来风靡日韩的“笔仙”游戏前身。原以为是封建迷信,可结果竟然真实地预言了杀人事件的发生,实在太诡异了!看到这里我相信大多数人都是很希望一口气读下去的...
