Spider's Web - Softcover
Another title in the new and stylish Agatha Christie Signature Editions series. Clarissa enjoyed daydreaming -- 'supposing', she called it. 'Supposing I were to come down one morning and find a dead body in the library, what should I do?' -- she soon has the chance to find out...Charles Osborne's adapation of Agatha Christie's classic play, Spider's Web, features Clarissa, the wife of a Foreign Office diplomat given to daydreaming. 'Supposing I were to come down one morning and find a dead body in the library, what should I do?' she muses. Clarissa has her chance to find out when she discovers a body in her drawing-room. Desperate to dispose of it, she attempts to persuade her house guests to become accessories and accomplices. As the search begins for the murderer in their midst, the house party is interrupted by the arrival of a police inspector, who needs convincing there has been no murder at all. That shouldn't be too hard for Clarissa who maintains that lies are always more believable, 'I suppose when you're making things up you get carried away and that makes it sound more convincing.' Or should it?...

About the Author:
Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, the most popular detective since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime and her works have sold over two billion copies -- 80 crime books, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
From AudioFile:
Dame Agatha's creaky stage mystery is here recycled as a novella by the mere expedient of expanding her stage directions into narrative. Beautiful Clarissa, who dreams of finding a corpse in her living room, one day actually finds one. Hugh Fraser's best efforts fail to make this anything but dreary going.
