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
“I enjoy Chamber events because there’s been something for me at every stage of my career. Just getting started? Access. Expanding my network? Business After Hours, Chamber Breakfasts, etc. Honing my leadership skills? That’s LT all the way. I don’t know of anywhere else in town that focuses so singularly on improving all aspects of the business community in Tallahassee, and it’s been a great place for me to be.”
