Macabre Masquerade: A butler who isn’t a butler… a Duchess who isn’t a Duchess… a thief who isn’t a thief… a madman who isn’t a madman… a corpse that most definitely is not a corpse… There’s always more than meets the eye when the inimitable Agatha Christie turns her talents to mischief, mayhem, and murder. Her gallery of rogues, rascals, and evildoers don the most devilish disguises in this outstanding collection of clever crimes and ingenious intrigue.
