A young man, broken down in the fog, witnesses a murder he is asked to conceal… A full-length novel adapted by Charles Osborne from Agatha Christie’s acclaimed play.
When a stranger runs his car into a ditch in dense fog in South Wales and makes his way to an isolated house, he discovers a woman standing over the dead body of her wheelchair-bound husband, 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? If so, who is she shielding? The victim’s young half-brother or his dying matriarchal mother? Laura’s lover? Perhaps the father of the little boy killed in an accident for which Warwick was responsible? The house seems full of possible suspects…
THE UNEXPECTED GUEST is considered to be one of the finest of Christie’s plays. Hailed as ‘another Mousetrap’ when it opened on 12 August 1958 in the West End, it ran for 604 performances over the succeeding 18 months and has been staged many times around the world over the last 40 years.
Agatha Christie’s book ‘Marple’ was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 12-09-2022.

Fantastico
Anche se il colpevole dopo un pó è piuttosto intuibile , il libro è cmq bello e la trama incalzante e ricca di tensione e colpi di scena.La storia si rivela interessantissima fin da subito e non lascia spazio alla noia, si legge tutto ad un fiato .Consigliato.
Lucia Mariantonia Bussi –
Non il migliore
Noioso e ripetitivo

Prior to buying this, I wasn’t sure how I would like it because I had honestly never heard of it before when looking at Agatha Christie’s work. My advice would be : read it! It was an enjoyable, quick read that has many of Agatha Christie’s hallmark twists and turns in a compact but fully formed story. There was a period in the beginning where I stalled a little reading it but by halfway through I couldn’t put it down. And you can’t beat that twist in the end!

Se a autora escreveu uma peça teatral original, é ela que deve ser lida e não a novelização de Charles Osborne. Recomendo.

So good

mal in englisch versucht, interessante Variante zu lesen, zumal die Formulierungen doch sehr antik sind ! zu empfehlen

Me encantan los libros de Agatha Christie y este tampoco defraudó.
