Publisher Description
In Sparkling Cyanide, Agatha Christie seats six—including a murderer—around a dining table set for seven, one year to the day that a beautiful heiress was poisoned in that very room.
Six people sit down to a sumptuous meal at a table laid for seven. In front of the empty place is a sprig of rosemary—"rosemary for remembrance." A strange sentiment considering no one is likely to forget the night, exactly a year ago, that Rosemary Barton died at exactly the same table, her beautiful face unrecognizable, convulsed with pain and horror.
But then Rosemary had always been memorable—she had the ability to arouse strong passions in most people she met. In one case, strong enough to kill. . . .

"I enjoyed reading this book. It had likable characters and was well paced. I was able to guess part of the ending but not how it was done. I thought this was one of the better Agatha Christie novels. It is one of the Colonel Race mysteries. "

" More like three and a half stars. I still have never in my life guessed an Agatha Christie villain, with or without Hercule Poirot being awesome, so that's cool. "
