A selection of mysteries, some light-hearted, some romantic, some very deadly

Twelve tantalizing cases the curious disappearance of Lord Listerdale; a newlyweds fear of her ex-fiance; a strange encounter on a train; a domestic murder investigation; a wild mans sudden personality change; a retired inspectors hunt for a murderess; a young womans impersonation of a duchess; a necklace hidden in a basket of cherries; a mystery writers arrest for murder; an astonishing marriage proposal; a sopranos hatred for a baritone; the case of the rajahs emerald.

All have one thing in common: the skilful hand of Agatha Christie.
