Review

‘The most macabre and eerie Christie I have read for a long time.’ Sunday Express

‘All beautifully plotted in the way that Mrs Christie is famous for. The title is from Macbeth: “By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” Wicked indeed!’ Best Sellers

‘Ladies disappearing from homes of rest, sinister empty houses, hints of gang-leaders mixed with black magic – mystery at the usual high Christie level.’ Evening Standard

‘Devised with fiendish ingenuity in the classic Christie cast.’ Illustrated London News
