“See how they run.”

After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time.

Reviews

“A masterpiece... Of all the stage versions of Christie’s books, The Mousetrap is by far the best.” – The Chicago Tribune

“A still-marvelous whodunit... fiendishly fabulous... The Moustrap deserves to make a killing.” – Chicago Sun-Times

“The Mousetrap, of course, is a masterpiece of misdirection. Thriller writers are like magicians and mind readers; the best of them constantly persuade you to look in the wrong direction, to think about anything but the actual logic of the plot. Of all the stage versions of Christie’s books, The Mousetrap is by far the best, perhaps because of its genesis as a radio play. – The Chicago Tribune
