By the Pricking of My Thumbs

A Tommy and Tuppence Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

Beschreibung

When Tommy and Tuppence visit an elderly aunt in her gothic nursing home, they think nothing of her mistrust of the doctors. After all Ada is a very difficult old lady. But when Mrs. Lockett mentions a poisoned mushroom stew and Mrs. Lancaster talks about something "behind the fireplace," Tommy and Tuppence think they should investigate -- and as they're in the process of unearthing strange goings-on, Aunt Ada dies and the pair find themselves caught up in a spine-chilling adventure that could spell death for either of them.

Rezensionen

'The most macabre and eerie Christie I have read for a long time.'
Sunday Express

'All beautifully plotted in the way that Mrs Christie is famous for. The title is from Macbeth: "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." Wicked indeed!'
Best Sellers

'Ladies disappearing from homes of rest, sinister empty houses, hints of gang-leaders mixed with black magic - mystery at the usual high Christie level.'
Evening Standard

'Devised with fiendish ingenuity in the classic Christie cast.'
Illustrated London News
