This Book is Anything but a Zero

Having eleven people confined to one holiday house, tensions are high from the start - with old lovers mixing with new spouses and strong egos clashing with modern ways.

Despite it's small size, when reading Agatha Christie's 'Towards Zero', you're given far more than just a thrilling crime piece. In its five chapters - that break up into even smaller sections within for easier reading pleasure - drama, humour, and taunting threads of romance are served up to you on a silver platter.

As with any Christie novel you're left guessing till the final chapter, wondering the classic question, 'Who Done It?'.

Scattering just enough hints and clues to hold the illusion that you MIGHT have figured it out, you find yourself hooked into wanting the next twist. Each of the new turn helping you brainstorm vivid possibilities for each characters.

Sometimes with the characters, such as Mary Aldin and Audrey Strange, you are constantly left reworking what could have possibly happened.

Most surprising of all is that the stories' not about the murders that have happened, but the one still left to come - and what will play out as a result.

Superintendent Battle, with his poker face that cannot be rivalled and deductive skills in line with that of Poirot, he's after our murderer. But will Battle catch them before they become a serial killer?

Christie offers up eight suspects as possible criminals, but can you work out who did it before the end? I know I couldn't!

Will the right person be caught? Will any romance bloom, or survive?

Read 'Towards Zero' and be ready for plot twists that shake you to the core.
