An unhappy game of romantic follow-the-leader explodes into murder one weekend at The Hollow. Dr. Cristow is at the center of the trouble: Henrietta, his mistress; Veronica, his ex-mistress; and Gerda, his wife are all in attendance. Veronica ardently desires to marry Cristow but is unable to get him to divorce his wife. She unwisely states that if she cannot have him, no one shall. Within five minutes Cristow is dead. Enter Inspector Colquhoun and Sergeant Penny to solve a crime where nearly everyone has a motive and the
opportunity to kill. The Hollow features Christie’s amazing knack for twists, turns and humor on its way to a stunning resolution.
