Дж. Дж. Коннингтон - все книги по циклам и сериям | Книги по порядку

Первый роман из сериала о сэре Клинтоне Дриффилде. С первых страниц книги мы оказываемся в весьма романтической обстановке: старинное английское поместье с массой всяких укромных местечек и впечатляющим набором из призраков и древнего британского фольклора. Довольно-таки интригующее место, пропитанное романтикой Доила и Стивенсона.

"A really first-rate detective story'" - T. S. Eliot

When twin brothers Roger and Neville Shandon are murdered by poisoned darts in Whistlefield's famous hedge maze, Sir Clinton Driffield arrives to restore order. He finds two terrified witnesses - visitors to the estate - and clues aplenty in this brilliantly conceived and meticulously realized country-house mystery.

Hubbard made his money in blackmail, most detestable blackmail at that. A loathsome creature, there were no special regrets when he was found dead at his desk in his own home. Yet Colonel Sanderstead felt it his duty to probe the affair, since his nephew's best friend had very good reason to wish Hubbard dead and might easily enough be involved. A ghost appears in the village, motor car tracks confuse the issue, and altogether the evidence is so varied and contrary that it is not surprising the Colonel makes a few mistakes.

В этой книге королевы детектива - три романа английского писателя Коннингтона: "Трагедия в Равенсторпе" (1927), "Загадка с девятью ответами" (1928) и "Загадка Лннден-Сэндза" (1928), в разработке сюжетов которых Агата Кристи принимала самое непосредственное участие.
