"There will be a murder at Beecham House tonight… Come participate in the investigation!" Who can resist such a tempting invitation?Not Phyllida Bright, Agatha Christie's energetic friend and housekeeper. With great interest, she takes part in a murder hoax staged by their neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Waxley. However, Phyllida raises her eyebrows disapprovingly more than once: the neighbors' household is too badly set up, and their housekeeper has everything falling out of her hands!. . But then the investigation game begins: the owner of the house takes a place on the floor with a fake knife in his back, and the guests are invited to figure out the killer. However, everyone's fun is suddenly interrupted when it is discovered that he is actually dead. Phyllida is far from new to the investigation of murders and knows that the real killer must certainly have a motive for the crime. It soon becomes clear that every guest has a reason to kill the host, both in the game and in real life. This complicated case truly overturns all the rules of the detective: who is the killer?, how to solve the crime?, what evidence will help to find the truth?The third book in a series of retrodetections, which takes place in the house of Agatha Christie. The perfect choice for fans of English detective stories, classic investigations and mysterious murders in the spirit of the old school. For the first time in Russian.
