This collection of classic short mysteries by the author of The Mousetrap will have you asking, "Whodunit, howdunit, and whydunit?" At the same time every day, Jack's morning golf routine is interrupted by the sound of a woman calling for help. Though the cry is clearly coming from a nearby cottage, the lady who lives there has no distress to report—until she starts having nightmares about a mysterious woman and a blue Chinese vase. Could the cottage be haunted? Or is Jack losing his mind? His attempts to find out will lead him down a dangerous path. A taut psychological thriller, "The Mystery of the Blue Jar" is quintessential Agatha Christie. This volume presents that story alongside other short works by the British master of mystery and suspense.
