The Spider's Web by Agatha Christie is another example of her clever presentation of
plot and character building that has the reader so confused as to the ending that he
just gives up and enjoys the story. The heroine and her family truly creates a spider's
web of deceit, greed and murder. Full of "red herrings", as usual.
Magnificently written with no wondering if the story will get off the ground. Agatha's
books always take-off smoothly and keep the destination confidently in sight.

This is a prose version of the play. A diplomat is to bring an ambassador home incognito. So when a scumbag is whacked in the house, everyone tries to cover up the murder. Not too effectively though. Amid the police investigation, the participants all seem to be using an alias. this is one of Auntie's better efforts, particularly in the denouement.
