❄︎推理天后 Agatha Christie 超自然之作
矗立於達特穆爾荒原,與世隔絕的西塔佛別墅中,六個好友喝完下午茶後無事可做而決定來玩通靈板,沒想到竟拼出別墅主人 Trevelyan 上校遭到謀殺的驚悚訊息。究竟是他們成功召喚了邪靈,或是有人開了個可怕的玩笑?
上校的家遠在六英里之外,而外頭紛飛的大雪阻斷了道路,只能步行前往。Burnaby 少校擔心自己多年好友的安危,決定踏上險途,親眼見證真相。
The Sittaford Mystery is Dame Agatha at her most intriguing, as a séance in a snowbound house predicts a particularly grisly murder.
In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell out a chilling message: "Captain Trevelyan . . . dead . . . murder."
Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six miles away and, with snowdrifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot. . . .
