The Mousetrap

As news spreads of a murder in London, a group of seven strangers find themselves in a remote countryside guesthouse. When a police sergeant arrives, the guests discover - to their horror - that a killer is in their midst. One by one, the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts. Which one is the murderer? Who will be their next victim? And can you solve this world-famous mystery for yourself?

Un freddo inverno nella campagna inglese. Nell'albergo che gestiscono, Mollie e Giles Ralston rimangono bloccati da una bufera di neve insieme a cinque strani ospiti. Tra costoro si cela uno psicopatico che ha già assassinato una persona a Londra. Ma sotto quale travestimento? Ciascuno dei presenti sembra avere qualche cosa da nascondere, qualche segreto legato a un fatto di sangue avvenuto molti anni addietro. Prima che le comunicazioni venissero interrotte, però, la polizia locale è riuscita a inviare un agente, il sergente Trotter. Toccherà a lui individuare l'omicida, deciso a colpire di nuovo. Ma la risoluzione del caso non sarà semplice. Commedia brillante e ricca di suspense, dalla prima messa in scena a Londra, nel 1952, Trappola per topi non ha mai smesso di essere rappresentata. Un caso unico al mondo.

Trappola per topi

Carlotta 

Melodrama / 5m, 3f / Int. The author comes forth with another hit about a group of strangers stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, one of whom is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house, and the suspicions that are in their minds nearly wreck their perfect marriage. Others are a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman, traveling on skis. He no sooner arrives, than the jurist is killed. Two down, and one to go. To get to the rationale of the murderer's pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present, and rattles a lot of skeletons. Another famous Agatha Christie switch finish! Chalk up another superb intrigue for the foremost mystery writer of her time.
