In 'Crooked House,' Agatha Christie crafts a masterful tale of murder and mystery within a seemingly idyllic family estate. The Leonides family is a wealthy and eccentric group living in a sprawling mansion. When the patriarch, Aristide Leonides, is found dead, suspicion falls on the family members, each with their own secrets and motives. Charles Hayward, engaged to the granddaughter of the deceased, takes on the challenge of uncovering the truth in this classic whodunit.
