Dead Man's Folly

More about the book

A choice of weapons … Sir George and Lady Stubbs are giving a garden party … with a difference. For Ariadne Oliver, the well-known detective novelist, has been hired to organise the main entertainment, which is to be a Murder Hunt. She arranges every detail with her customary flair and ingenuity. The contestants are provided with a choice of lethal weapons - a pistol, apiece of lead piping, a bottle of 'poison', a length of clothes line or a hypodermis syringe. But the day before the party, Ariadne begins to lose her nerve. Is this game quite as innocent as she has been led to believe … ?
