Agatha Christie, Charles Osborne: The Unexpected Guest
On a foggy night in Wales, a stranger seeking help enters an isolated house and discovers a man shot dead, with his wife standing beside the body holding a gun. But what appears to be a straightforward murder soon becomes a complicated mystery filled with suspicious characters, hidden motives and unexpected revelations. Based on Agatha Christie's celebrated stage play and adapted into novel form by Charles Osborne, The Unexpected Guest is a classic British murder mystery combining atmospheric suspense, clever misdirection and the intricate plotting of a traditional whodunit.
Adapted as a novel by CHARLES OSBORNE
When a stranger runs his car into a ditch in dense fog near the South Wales coast, and makes his way to an isolated house, he discovers a woman standing over the dead body of her wheelchair-bound husband, a gun in her hand. She admits to murder, and the unexpected guest offers to help her concoct a cover story.
But is it possible that Laura Warwick did not commit the murder after all? And if so, who is she shielding? The house seems full of possible suspects…
‘Like a martini - crisp, dry, sophisticated, habit-forming, ever-so-slightly dated – will satisfy all devotees of Christie’s neat plotting.’ Booklist
