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.

人物走马观花般的登场每一个都塑造地非常饱满，穿插着招魂会、越狱这样的背景，就连暴风雪和迷雾这样的天气情况也做足了戏， 非常非常像另一部疑案（为避免剧透此处不现实书名）一打开就忍不住要一口气读到最后一页。最后问大家一道数学题：B先生从Sittaford步行去Exhampton看望朋友，两地相距19.32公里，B先生从下午5:25出发于8:00抵达，请问他的朋友去世了吗？😂

确实不是阿婆小说中的上乘之作，但是看看也很有意思，也不能要求每本都是经典之作，要不后来之人还有饭吃？

和之前那本why didn’t they ask evans有点相似，都是很有魅力和行动力的女主人公，和她的男搭档一起冒险探案。但这篇感情结局却有些出乎意料。至于案情本身，过程扑朔迷离，但答案依旧让人信服。
