Fiction by Agatha Christie
Mike and Ellie are a charming young couple who fall in love and get together to build their dream house in the English countryside. But unfortunately they seem to be threatened from all sides. There are Ellie's interfering, money-grasping relatives; and there's a creepy gypsy woman in the neighborhood who insists they have built on cursed land; and then there's Greta, the woman Ellie believes is her best friend but whom Mike is suspicious of.
This is probably one of Agatha Christie's best books. There is no detective, and the murder doesn't even take place until close to the end of the book, but it's still a first-class mystery.
The amazing thing is, I actually remembered exactly how the story ended (and who had "dunnit"), but was still able to enjoy the re-read.
I also read recently by this author: Postern of Fate
