A poisoning many years ago may not have been accidental after all. Tommy and Tuppence Beresford have just become the proud owners of an old house in an English village. Along with the property, they have inherited some worthless bric-a-brac, including a collection of antique books.

This is the last of a series of 5 Tommy and
Tuppence books by Agatha Christie. It is a
good story - but will be more meaningful to

on aging and British society over a long period. If you enjoy this read "Why Didn't They
Ask Evans?" Different characters but a
similar approach by Christie.
