Rezensionen

'The most macabre and eerie Christie I have read for a long time.'
Sunday Express

'All beautifully plotted in the way that Mrs Christie is famous for. The title is from Macbeth: "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." Wicked indeed!'
Best Sellers

'Ladies disappearing from homes of rest, sinister empty houses, hints of gang-leaders mixed with black magic - mystery at the usual high Christie level.'
Evening Standard

'Devised with fiendish ingenuity in the classic Christie cast.'
Illustrated London News
