As usual with Agatha Christie, this is a very intelligent thriller with towering complications all the way, all happening in the same house, where Glynis Johns' VIP husband is expecting some international celebrities for the night to not be disturbed, while before that a dead body is surprisingly found. Fortunately Glynis Johns' friends are at hand, and they fake a bridge party, but that does not fool the policemen a very long way, who unfortunately have been anonymously informed about something fishy going on at the manor and come looking there for a body. No one has any idea who or why that fellow has been murdered, he is a distant relative being married to Glynis Johns' husband's former wife, and they have a child, a daughter, who lives with Glynis Johns and her husband, and she is a good mother while the real mother apparently was not. Glynis assumes that it's the girl who has killed that intruding step-father, and so the mysery rolls on. It's delightful entertainment with witty dialog and a typical Agatha Christie jig-saw intrigue of many suprirses. Enjoy!
