   (5) Handling: The notice in the Gazette read quite simply:
                         "A Murder has been announced and will take
                         place on Friday, October 29, at Little Paddocks,
                         at 6:30. Friends please accept this, the only in-
                         timation."
                        
                         It was a game, of course, for nothing so unusual
                         could ever happen in the little village of Chipping
                         Cleghorn.

                         Nevertheless, one by one, a little after six, the
                         neighbors began to arrive, their nervous curiosity,
                         hidden by small talk about chrysanthemums and
                         central heating. No one audibly mentioned the
                         unusual announcement.

                         Then, suddenly, as six-thirty struck, the lights
                         went out....
 
                         With this tense scene Agatha Christie opens her
                         new story, and for the fiftieth time she leaves you
                         admiring her adroitness as the plot weaves its way
                         from surprise to surprise. No wonder that every-
                         where millions of readers, among them the top
                         mystery writers, hail Agatha Christie as one of the
                         greatest names in detective fiction.
