Agatha Christie’s Classic Short Story Collection

Including one of her most enduring and shocking thrillers, The Witness for the Prosecution.

Setting

1920s London.

The Crime

A murder, brutal and bloodthirsty, has stained the plush carpets of a handsome London townhouse. The victim is the glamorous and enormously rich Emily French.

The Investigation

All the evidence points to Leonard Vole, a young chancer to whom the heiress left her vast fortune and who ruthlessly took her life. At least, this is the story that Emily’s dedicated housekeeper Janet Mackenzie stands by in court.

The Defense

Leonard, however, is adamant that his partner, the enigmatic chorus girl Romaine, can prove his innocence.
