Description
When a harmless practical joke goes terribly wrong, a house party becomes the scene of a baffling murder mystery. Gerry Wade, known for his legendary ability to sleep through anything, is the target of an elaborate prank involving eight alarm clocks—but one clock disappears, and the morning brings tragedy instead of laughter. As suspicion falls on the houseguests, a clever detective must unravel the twisted circumstances surrounding the crime and determine who among the group had motive and opportunity. Agatha Christie masterfully weaves together deception, hidden secrets, and unexpected twists in this classic locked-room mystery that proves even the most innocent of pranks can harbor deadly consequences. A gripping tale of how quickly fortune can turn and how nothing is quite as it seems.
