Why would anybody want to kill Lady Tressilian?
She has no enemies. She has no dark secrets from the past as do the others in the play, and the heirs to her late husband's estate are well off in their own right, and neither need nor care about money.
A collection of family friends are invited to Lady Tressilian's estate for what could promise to be a very awkward weekend: the rich nephew, his ex-wife, his current wife, the black sheep who has been abroad for several years and is secretly in love with the neighbor's wife . . .
Most everyone here could find a reason to commit murder, but not to murder the hostess! Anyone here could have done it. But Who? And more interestingly, Why?
Absolutely pure, quintessential Agatha Christie, this fast paced mystery will keep you guessing from start to finish as the events come to a head, and rapidly approach Zero!
