Features: In 1992, Christie was named the annual newcomer, and in 1993 and 1994, she was the annual MVP of two of the world's most powerful mystery fiction leagues—such achievements were even unmatched by basketball judge Michael Jordan. In just three short years, with only three novels, Christie won all possible awards representing the highest honors of detective fiction on both sides of the Atlantic, unifying the detective worlds of the United States and the United Kingdom. As a result, the mystery worlds of the U.S. and the U.K. decided to give her a specially designed, higher-honored position that had been vacant for over two decades since the passing of Queen Agatha Christie. That was the throne of the queen.
Ten years ago, David Maberly disappeared from the estate of St. Clares. Ten years later, a mangled and grotesque body was discovered in the icehouse of the estate. David's wife, Phileas, was riddled with suspicion, and her companions, Diana and Ann, were long rumored to be witches. Ugly truths gradually emerged—David had once forcibly assaulted his own daughter, and the police who came to investigate harbored their own motives. The identity of the body in the icehouse remained uncertain. The dark estate of St. Clares was stirring, and how many more secrets were hidden within? The (un) and the (un) and the (un)—what was the truth that had been buried for so many years?
