Perfect for you if...

  • You love locked-room mysteries where the killer is definitely in the room with you.
  • You want to read the actual script before (or instead of) seeing it on stage.
  • You're a Christie devotee who's read everything else and need to know how this one actually ends.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer sprawling, complex plots with intricate backstories and aren't satisfied by elegant simplicity.
  • You want psychological depth and character study over the mechanics of a puzzle solved.
  • You need a lot of action and pace, rather than the slow reveal of secrets in a snowed-in guesthouse.

About this book

Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap has entertained millions of audiences worldwide for over 70 years and remains a sell-out hit of London theatre. This 70th anniversary edition includes a new introduction by Sophie Hannah, author of the authorised Agatha Christie Poirot continuation novels, along with the official play script and exclusive archival material from the production. When news of a murder in London reaches a remote countryside guesthouse, seven strangers find themselves trapped together. Upon the arrival of a police sergeant, the guests learn that a killer is among them. As the suspicious characters reveal their troubled pasts one by one, the mystery deepens: who is the murderer, who will be next, and can you solve this world-famous mystery? This edition features an introduction by Sophie Hannah, the complete playscript, an exclusive interview with producer Adam Spiegel, and a collection of letters, speeches, photographs, and other insights into the play's creation.
