This Lansdowne Press omnibus presents three psychologically charged mysteries by Agatha Christie, each illustrating her range beyond conventional detective fiction. By the Pricking of My Thumbs chronicles Tommy and Tuppence Beresfords unsettling investigation into a missing elderly woman and a cryptic painting, uncovering buried crimes and sinister secrets in a quiet English village. The Mysterious Mr. Quin presents a series of haunting short stories in which the enigmatic Mr. Quin appears at moments of moral crisis, guiding Mr. Satterthwaite toward revelations that reshape lives and expose hidden truths. Endless Night shifts into gothic suspense, detailing a young mans descent into obsession and psychological unraveling after marrying into wealth and building his dream home on cursed land. Christie argues that evil often wears a charming face, illustrating how fate, guilt, and delusion converge in unexpected ways.
