Another of Christie’s stage plays novelised by Osborne.
Clarissa always wonders what she would do if she came across a dead in the library, it seems her wish has come true as she finds one in the drawing room!
I liked that Osborne sticks rigidly to the original play, so didn’t mind that the opening quarter of the book was more of a scene setter.
Once the plot really kicks in, it’s easy to be swept along.
I think this has been my favourite of the three play novels.

I didn't know about these stage plays. Interesting. And what I would give to die in a library...

Thanks Joshie. Her most well known play ‘The Mousetrap� has running for years, but there’s been plenty of others including some adaptation of her books (and vise-versa). I think Osborne has novelised three.
