by Agatha Christie
Counting this towards Mawlid An-Nabi because it has a green cover! I read this book four times over the holidays. It was so good! Why didn't we get more Superintendent Battle books?! I don't know what else to say, but prepare for a glowing review. So "Towards Zero" starts off with a retired lawy...
‘I like a good detective story,’ he said. ‘But, you know, they begin in the wrong place! They begin with the murder. But the murder is the end.

Out of all her plots, it isn't the most complex one there is, which makes it a perfect candidate for audio.Towards Zero is wha...
I enjoyed this mystery. Christie does a great job of throwing in lots of red herrings, leading the reader to believe he or she has figured things out.
Adaptation by Joy Wilkinson of Agatha Christie's detective novel. Against her better judgement, Lady Tresselian permits the dashing Nevile Strange and his wife to come to her house party at the same time as his ex-wife, and sure enough, as soon as everyone arrives, the tensions are evident. Nevile ....
