Description

A murder is committed in a small country boarding house cut off from the world by a snowstorm. But—could it be that this crime is only one link in a bloody chain of murders committed by someone unknown so far…

Agatha Christie explained the success of “The Mousetrap” like this: “In this play there’s something for almost everyone, in small doses. That’s why it appeals to people of different ages and tastes. You might say without being smug, and without false modesty, that a work of this kind—an easy play that has both humor and the appeal of a thriller—is well made. As the events unfold, the listener keeps wanting to know what happens next, and it’s hard to guess where the plot will turn in the next few minutes.”
