The Mousetrap

After   a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find   themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soons becomes clear that the   killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of   one another. A police detective, who arrives on skis, interrogates the   suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious   background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired   Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a   drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second   murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder   mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the   foremost mystery writer of her time.
