THE CENTURY’S MOST POPULAR MURDER MYSTERY
The internationally celebrated novel that captivated 10 million readers is coming in a brand-new staging more thrilling than ever.

When a neighbour’s dog is discovered killed, she finds herself under suspicion. Determined to prove her innocence, Chris becomes both detective and suspect, drawn into a mystery that grows darker and more complex with every clue she uncovers.
