This stand-alone has perfect pacing and a wickedly winding plot that keeps you guessing until the end. The cases solved by Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple can be chilly and intellectual, but this novel is fraught with passions barely held in check and resentments honed like fine crystal. But everyone at Three Gables has a motive for murder. When millionaire Aristide Leonides is poisoned, the victim’s sensuous, much younger wife is the prime suspect. Who could afford a rambling, gabled mansion in these modern times? And how far would someone go to protect the lifestyle they think they deserve? This weekend, travel back to just after World War Two in Britain, when the lives of British aristocrats were changing dramatically.
