- There
are over 2 billion copies of Agatha
Christie’s books in print. She is the most
popular mystery writer of all time and the
world’s best selling author. Many movies
have been made from her stories. Each book has
different characters, but the stories often take
place in Great Britain, since that is where
Agatha Christie is from. In this story, a 17
year -old girl named Anne Beddingford was living
alone with her father. (Anne’s mother died
when Anne was a baby.) Then her father suddenly
became ill and died. Without any relatives, she
chose to live with her father’s lawyer and
his wife in London. One evening, Anne was in a
subway station when she noticed a man in a brown
suit that stunk of moth balls. (Read some of
page 17.) The only thing found on the man was an
address for a house for rent. Soon after a woman
is found murdered in that same house. Anne, as a
witness to the man’s death, becomes
involved in solving the case.
