About this eBook

A strange houseA ghost from the past

As soon as she moves into Hillside, Gwenda knows there’s something strange about this house.

A sealed room. A hidden door. The apparition of a young woman being strangled.

But strangest of all – this all seems quite familiar.

As her friend Jane Marple investigates, the answer seems to lie in a crime committed nearly twenty years ago.

The killer may have gotten away with murder. But Miss Marple is never far behind.

Never underestimate Miss Marple

‘Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction.’
Tana French

‘Miss Marple is spry, shrewd and compassionate.’
Sunday Telegraph

Ratings and reviews

In many of Christie's books, the murder is yet to be done and then investigated but here, this is an eighteen year old murder resurfaced. Really interesting plot line. The middle part of the book like gathering facts and interviewing people may be bit boring but the last two chapters will give you all the satisfaction and luxury in the end.

Agatha Christie loved it.... 😀 highly recommended reading
