Don't listen to the other reviews about this book.. This book is amazing! It is a bit of a diversion from Christie's typical mystery. These are more love stories. That being said, it helps to be familiar with her other work in order to really appreciate these particular stories. If you are a fan of Christie's work, please give this book a try. It's one of my favorites!

It was an offer the St. Vincents could not refuse - a splendid mansion, complete with servants, with nothing asked in return! But where was the host? Why was the mysterious butler as tight-lipped and enigmatic as the Sphinx? Most of the family, basking in elegance, is content to ask no questions, but young Rupert St. Vincent suspects a sinister trap, and will not rest until he has unmasked the mastermind behind it all. Fast-paced and thrilling!!!!
