Work Description

*The Murder of Roger Ackroyd:* A widow's sudden suicide sparks rumours that she murdered her first husband, was being blackmailed, and was carrying on a secret affair with the wealthy Roger Ackroyd. The following evening, Ackroyd is murdered in his locked study, but not before receiving a letter identifying the widow's blackmailer. Kings Abbot is crawling with suspects and it's up to famous detective, Hercule Poirot, to solve the case.

*And Then There Were None:* Considered one of the greatest mysteries of all times, ten strangers, each with a dark secret, are gathered together on an isolated island by a mysterious host. One by one, they die, and before the weekend is out, there will be none.

The Witness for the Prosecution: A murder trial takes a diabolical turn when the wife of the accused takes the stand.

Philomel Cottage: The recently married Alix Martin is obsessed with a recurring dream of her new husband's murder. Each time she can see the murderer clearly, and it's the mild-mannered man she had previously been engaged to, taking his revenge. But, what's worse is that at the end of the dream she thanks the murderer. Perplexed, Alix tries to calm herself by spending time in the garden of her picturesque cottage. But her gardener confuses her further by wishing her well on her trip to London--a trip which Alix knows nothing about. Now Alix is scared: is the gardener imagining things, or is she?

Three Blind Mice: A blinding snowstorm--and a homicidal maniac--traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate.
