The Mousetrap, & Other PlaysYou're front-row center to murder as a homicidal maniac stalks the snowbound guests of an imposing manor ... as a group of strangers gather on an isolated island -- to the diabolical delight of a secret killer ... as a scheming wife takes the stand against her husband in a startling criminal trial. From The Mousetrap (the longest-running play in history) to Ten Little Indians and Witness for the Prosecution (both made into classic film thrillers), here are eight brilliantly staged acts of murder featuring twice as many suspects and final-curtain twists. |
