Author: Agatha Christie
Crooked House" has long been considered one of Agatha Christie's most brilliant and memorable books -- the author herself singled it out as a favorite.
Here is the plot of "The Tragedy of Y," without giving away any major surprises: Three generations of a warped, wealthy family live together in one house. The hated grandparent is murdered. The children's tutor is wrongly arrested. Secret handwritten documents emerge that solve the crime. The murderer is shockingly revealed to be the same person as in "Crooked House". (Given the ostensible originality of Christie's ending, this last point is the most damning of all.)
