About This Item
Agatha Christie: Hercule Poirot Murder Mystery. From inside the front cover: Too much of a bad thing. Poirot was used to piercing innocent masks to uncover the face of murder. But in this case all of his suspects possessed that perilous potential. Each of them had succeeded in the ultimate sin at least once-and none of them could be crossed off Poirot's list as he hunted the person who had turned a perverse party prank into a deadly jest. A famous doctor...a fearless explorer...an eminent lady novelist...a lovely young girl...a hearty army officer... a fading social queen... a high police official...Poirot studied all the cards-and wondered which on was the joker. From the back: Feast of Fear. The dinner party ws the most diaboliccal that Hercule Poirot had ever attended-complete with a scheming host and a menu of menace. Poirot was told beforehand that each of the invited guests was a murderer who had successfully escaped dectection-and the occasion promised the proof that perfect crime.
Synopsis
Mr. Shaitana was famous as a flamboyant party host, but he was a man of whome everybody was a little afraid. So, when he boasted to Hercule Poirot that he considered murder and art form, the detective had some reservations about accepting a party invitation to view Shaitana's private collection. Indeed, what began as an absorbing evening of bridge was to turn into a more dangerous game altogether . . .
