Location: Community Christian School; open to the public A group of strangers is stranded at Monkswell Manor Guest House during a snowstorm, one of whom is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house, and the suspicions in their minds nearly wreck their perfect marriage. Others are a woman with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman, traveling on skiis, whose aim is to protect them from a murderer who has already struck once and who has plans for someone at Monkswell Manor–but who? He no sooner arrives, when there is a murder. Two down, and one to go. To get to the rationale of the murderer’s pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present, and rattles a lot of skeletons. Chalk up another superb intrigue for Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time.
Why I joined the Chamber
“When Earl Bacon founded his own insurance agency in 1963, one of the first things he did was join the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce. Our commitment to local economic development has not wavered in the 55 years since. The Chamber’s great programs – the Professional Women’s Forum, the CEO Series, the Annual Conference, and others – are the best way to interact with other local business owners and keep abreast of what is happening in the local community.”
