Publisher Description

Little did Anthony Cade suspect that an errand for a friend would place him at the center of a deadly conspiracy. Drawn into a web of intrigue, he begins to realize that the simple favor has placed him in serious danger.

As events unfold, the combined forces of Scotland Yard and the French Sûreté gradually converge on Chimneys, the great country estate that hides an amazing secret....

"A delightfully improbable comic tale of murder, Ruritanian (or, in this case, Herzoslovakian) political intrigue, jewel thieves, and confused identities. Set mostly at an English country house called Chimneys, this book is what Christie referred to as "a lighthearted thriller" and is a departure from her usual detective novels featuring Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple. The wonderfully satisfying ending, in which the culprits and characters' true identities are revealed, is most unlikely, and hilarious. Great fun, highly recommended."

    " I found Anthony Cade to be utterly charming, and this novel to be a lot of fun. Great plot-wonderful twists and a bevy of fabulous characters. I found myself grinning from ear to ear reading this one. "

    " I find all of Agatha's books to be extremely diverting...and this was no exception. This one has no famous detective and the feel and flow of it were different than most of her other books and though I adore Poirot and Miss Marple, this offered a nice change of pace. "

    " Its one of the greatest book of Agatha. And the story is different than the other books. Some points are guessable if you can catch the clues, but anyway it makes you to think about it whenever you don't read. "

    " I read this while in Spain, and very much enjoyed the story. While a satire, it still rang true to so many things today. Seemed much more political than Christie is typically. A jolly good read. "

    " Not the best of Agatha Christie's mysteries, but still a very entertaining one. As many of her non-Poirot/Marple books, this one is more adventure than mystery and introduces a few characters that return in later stories, such as Inspector Battle. "

    " I loved this book more than the second one, which I read first; I was very sad to see this one end. I'm definitely enjoying the marriage of humor and mystery in the Superintendent Battle series so far. Hopefully it will continue. "

    " Oh honestly. The mystery was clever enough but, "My belief in the brotherhood of man died the day I arrived in London last week, when I observed the people standing in a Tube train resolutely refuse to move up and make room for those who entered." SHUT UP FOREVER, you horrible child. "

    " Quite enjoyable reading and the main character was very interesting. Although, as customarly there were revelations at the end that were supressed from the reader. "
