<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Who saw him die? I, said the fly, with my little eye. I saw him die. An astonishingly beautiful setting on the island of Skye. A gathering of fascinating guests at a hunting lodge set to enjoy abundant hospitality. And a double murder. A household in chaos... No one is allowed to leave. A tantalizing new case for Agatha Christie to solve.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Fiendishly well-plotted, hugely entertaining." --Lucy Foley, bestselling author of <i>The Hunting Party</i></b> <p/><b>In this classic whodunit filled with red herrings and double-crosses, the Queen of Crime returns in the role of sleuth as she investigates a mysterious death in the Scottish Highlands.</b> <p/>Bestselling novelist and part-time undercover sleuth Agatha Christie is looking forward to a bit of well-deserved rest and relaxation when her longtime friend John Davison pleads with her to help him protect a retired British agent turned hotelier who has been receiving threatening letters. <p/>Together they travel to Dallach Lodge, a beautiful estate on Scotland's picturesque Isle of Skye. There they insert themselves among the hotel's illustrious guests, including members of the owner's family, a leading lady of the theater, a brilliant botanist, a local doctor, and two sisters who coauthor romance novels. After a pleasant first evening, Agatha thinks it unlikely that any of them are capable of evil, much less murder. But early the next morning, the sound of a gunshot rings out and the hotel owner is found dead in the arms of his nephew. At first, it appears to be a simple hunting accident, but as Agatha digs deeper, she discovers that each and every one of the residents has a reason for wanting the late proprietor dead.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>A Different Kind of Evil</i></b> <p/>"Stellar...a crafty whodunit worthy of the queen of mystery herself."-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br><b>Praise for <i>A Talent for Murder</i></b> <p/>"[A] twisty thriller...Wilson fully realizes the potential of this ominous setup."-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br><b>Praise for <i>Death in a Desert Land</i></b> <p/>"A heart of darkness beats within this sparkling series.
