In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.

What is The Mousetrap about?

THE MOUSETRAP gathers a group of people together at a stately countryside guesthouse in the converted Monkswell Manor. A snow storm cuts the patrons off and they discover, to their horror, a killer is amongst them. Which one is the murderer? Who will be their next victim?

The characters become increasingly suspicious as the show goes on until each and everyone of their shameful pasts is revealed up until the last, when the moment the identity of the killer and motive are finally revealed.

The best-loved murder mystery of all time by the best-selling novelist of all time. Case closed!
