Publisher Description

Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, Agatha Christie’s delightful sleuthing duo, investigate the strange and troubling doings behind the scenes at a gothic British nursing home in By the Pricking of My Thumbs

When Tommy and Tuppence visit an elderly aunt in her gothic nursing home, they think nothing of her mistrust of the doctors; after all, Ada is a very difficult old lady.

But when Mrs. Lockett mentions a poisoned mushroom stew and Mrs. Lancaster talks about "something behind the fireplace," Tommy and Tuppence find themselves caught up in a spine-chilling adventure that could spell death for either of them.

By pricking up my thumbs

Great

PS_14 ,

Slow & vague!!!

I am a die hard Agatha Christie fan and loved the initial Tommy & Tuppence books. But the last two - Pricking of my thumbs & Postern of Fate have been really disappointing. They move very slowly, there's lots of context & elaborate conversations that have no bearing on the real plot, and they end abruptly. What really went on isn't quite clarified at the end and you don't quite understand how the mystery was solved. If you are looking for a typical Christie-style page turner, don't waste your time on these.
