Described by the Queen of Mystery herself as one of her
favorites of her published works, Crooked House is a classic
Agatha Christie thriller revolving around a devastating family
mystery. The Leonides are one big happy family living in a
sprawling, ramshackle mansion. That is until the head of the
household, Aristide, is murdered with a fatal barbiturate
injection. Suspicion naturally falls on the old man’s young
widow, fifty years his junior. But the murderer has reckoned
without the tenacity of Charles Hayward, fiancé of the late
millionaire’s granddaughter. “Writing Crooked House was pure
pleasure and I feel justified in my belief that it is one of my
best.” --Agatha Christie.
Characters: 30. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Mystery.
