An old woman in a nursing home speaks of a child buried behind the fireplace...
When Tommy and Tuppence visited an elderly aunt in her gothic nursing home, they thought nothing of her mistrust of the doctors; after all, Ada was a very difficult old lady.

‘The most macabre and eerie Christie I have read for a long time.’
Sunday Express
‘All beautifully plotted in the way that Mrs Christie is famous for. The title is from Macbeth: “By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” Wicked indeed!’
Best Sellers
‘Ladies disappearing from homes of rest, sinister empty houses, hints of gang-leaders mixed with black magic – mystery at the usual high Christie level.’
Evening Standard
‘Devised with fiendish ingenuity in the classic Christie cast.’
Illustrated London News
