Opis
The Unexpected Guest:
A foggy night...a lonely country house...and a woman with a gun in her
hand quietly surveying the dead body of her husband. It looked like a
straightforward case of murder. Or was it? As the ghosts of an old wrong
begin to emerge from the past, the case begins to look anything but
straightforward...
First staged at the Duchess Theatre in London in 1958, this play ran for
604 performances and is as gripping and ingenious as you would expect from
the Queen of Crime. The Pale Horse:
Father Gorman is called to a dingy rooming house to see a woman who,
before she dies, confesses a bizarre tale to him. Leaving the house he is
followed and, in the fog, a fatal blow is struck. A piece of paper with
nine names written on it is found in the dead priest's shoe. The clue leads
to The Pale Horse Inn, home of three women: a psychic, a medium and a
witch. Can Mark Easterbrook and his friend Ariadne Oliver unravel the
occult mysteries?
