Towards Zero

By Agatha Christie 

(Blurb: An elderly widow is murdered at a clifftop seaside house...What is the connection between a failed suicide attempt, a wrongful accusation of theft against a schoolgirl, and the romantic life of a famous tennis player? To the casual observer, apparently nothing. But when a houseparty gathers at Gull's Point, the seaside home of an elderly widow, earlier events come to a dramatic head. It's all part of a carefully paid plan - for murder...)

Now we al know Agatha Christie is a crime-writing genius, but this novel just blew me away! The plot is so entwining and complex, it's pure madness! And as Seneca once said, "There is no great genius without some touch of madness." The ending is so surprising and twisted, but isn't at the same time, because once we realise who the murderer is, we realise that we've been missing all the signs. Gosh, made me feel like such an idiot, but oh, I loved it! I won't give away any spoilers. You won't be sorry! 10/10 :)
