The Sittaford Mystery book pdf download By Agatha Christie

In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a small table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell out a chilling message: ‘Captain Trevelyan… dead… murder.’ Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six miles away and, with snow drifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot. ………This is the first novel into which Christie incorporated a supernatural element and she used it to great effect in the wintry Dartmoor setting. There are several Hound of the Baskervilles references with escaped convicts, naturalists and even a reference to Conan Doyle himself. It’s also the first novel to be given a different title when it was published in the US. Dodd, Mead’s edition The Murder at Hazelmoor predates the Collins Crime Club edition of 7th September. But both editions were preceded by the US Good Housekeeping serialisation in six instalments from March to August with illustrations by W. Smithson Broadhead (who coincidentally had the honour of being the first to illustrate Poirot on a book jacket with his 1926 cover for Bodley Head of Poirot Investigates). In 2004, the BBC dramatised the story for Radio 4. It was filmed for ITV in 2006 with the addition of Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple and Timothy Dalton as prominent politician Trevelyan who gets stabbed rather than sandbagged. In this adaptation the killer is different from the novel and it also featured an early appearance from rising star Carey Mulligan.
