As news spreads of a murder in London, a group of seven strangers find themselves in a remote countryside guesthouse. When a police sergeant arrives, the guests discover - to their horror - that a killer is in their midst. One by one, the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts. Which one is the murderer? Who will be their next victim? And can you solve this world-famous mystery for yourself?

I love AC's writing and after 60 years of collecting AC's books and reading many of them over 2-3 times, the Mousetrap is one where I have the book but I hadn't had a chance to read it...until now. I would love to experience the play first hand...but I fear reading the book here will be as close as I will get of seeing it come alive. I recommend everyone read the book at least once.
