The Sittaford Mystery is Dame Agatha at her most intriguing, as a séance in a snowbound house predicts a particularly grisly murder.
In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell out a chilling message: Captain Trevelyan . . . dead . . . murder.
Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six miles away and, with snowdrifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot. . . .

The mystery begins with a round table séance where a spirit announces that Captain John Trevelyan has been murdered. A heavy snowstorm makes travel difficult, but Major John Edward Burnaby insists on walking to Trevelyan’s cottage to check the verity of the spirit. A man, James Pearson, is arrested for the murder. Pearson’s fiancé, Miss Emily Trefusis, grabs the bull by the horns and attempts to prove that Pearson has been framed. Agatha Christie delights in presenting female sleuths that outwit the criminal. These women solve murder: Anne Beddington in The Man in the Brown Suit, Kathleen Gray assists Poirot in The Mystery of the Blue Train, and Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent assists Superintendent Battle in The Seven Dials Mystery. Emily weasels the assistance of many men in her quest to find the killer, but her antics delight the reader. I am fascinated with Christie’s names—where does she find these names? Also, in almost every story, people enter a house through the window—is this an English oddity?
