Young Daphne du Maurier must defend a friend who has been accused of murder in the next installment in the beguiling mystery series that readers of Rebecca will love.

The Detective Novels of Agatha Christie
Author: James Zemboy
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476665958
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 449
