Publisher Description

A blizzard has hit England. In the tiny village of Sittaford, on the fringes of Dartmoor, a party of six is gathered in Sittaford House, home of Captain Trevelyan. He has rented the house out for the winter and is staying in a nearby village.

As evening draws in, a seance is proposed. But it reveals more than they had anticipated - TREVELYAN DEAD, spells out the board. Slowly the table begins to rock again, spelling out the word M-U-R-D-E-R. Is it true? And who would kill a man who doesn't have an enemy in the world?

John Moffatt and Stephen Tompkinson star in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of a classic from the Queen of Crime.

"This was the first Non Poirot A.C. book I have read, and it was brill. I loved the setting on Dartmoor and could relate to the places talked about as i live near them which felt novel. The book was easy to read and follow the plot with a brilliant twist at the end. Loved it."

    " One of the few Chrisitie's not in a series (ie Poirot, Miss Marple or Tommy & Tuppence) but none the worse for that, a character from previous books does have a cameo role which nicely links it. A story of deceit, aliases and strength of convictions. "

    " A very well-done classic mystery. Of course I had read it before, but only remembered a few key elements and even though one of them was "who done it," I still thoroughly enjoyed the reading. (Note: also titled in other editions as "The Sittaford Mystery." "

    " Great plot, mostly believable characters. I didn't like one of the main characters -Emily. She's a very strong female character, but too much so. It gets a little annoying. "

    " Pretty much Christie by the numbers - a quick Saturday night read, lent some interest by my edition which was a 1940s war-time printing in tiny type on cheap paper (each page basically crumbled to dust as I completed it) with exhortations to buy War bonds on the back cover. "

    " I found this kind of a weak book, on the whole. The detective, Inspector Narracott, was essentially useless, and it was actually the accused killer’s fiancee, Emily Trefusis, who solved the crime. I also found the solution pretty unsatisfying. "

    " All I can say is Agatha Christie is a genius, like usual. She never disappoints! I listened to this one on cd and thoroughly enjoyed the narrator. It could be because I have a thing for British accents, but whatever...it was still awesome. "

    " Since I have read a lot of female mystery writers lately, I decided to go back to the Queen, Agatha Christie, and see if she still holds up and it was a resounding YES. Really enjoyed this book. "

    " It was not as good as other Agatha Christie's novels, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Two characters were especially interesting in this book: Emily Trefusis and Miss Percehouse, two really strong women, that always obtain what they want. "
