"Sir George and Lady Stubbs are giving a garden party . . . with a difference. Ariadne Oliver, well-known mystery writer, is to organise the main event - a Murder Hunt.
Every detail is arranged with her customary flair and ingenuity. The contestants are provided with a choice of lethal weapons - and the scene is set for murder.
But Ariadne Oliver is uncomfortable, something is not quite right, if only she knew what it was! She telephones her old friend, Hercule Poirot, for assistance.
The game begins, but the victim isn't 'playing dead'. For her, the hunt is over. For Hercule Poirit it is only just beginning . . . "

I received the book today and it made my day, it's so great to receive a book from so far away! My joy was doubled by the fact that there was a children's book with it, which I immediately read to my 5 year old boy, who was delighted!

Journal Entry 6 by apapsa at Μύλος Ματσόπουλου in Trikala, Trikala Greece on Thursday, January 1, 2015
Released 9 yrs ago (12/27/2014 UTC) at Μύλος Ματσόπουλου in Trikala, Trikala Greece
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Released it on top of the rest of the books of the OBCZ at the cafe of "Μύλος των Ξωτικών" in Trikala.
In my hands now, after looking carefully in its pages for apapsa's lost postcard, which was unfortunately not found. Btw, what a good idea to insert a little piece of paper describing the OBCZ of your neighbourhood and explaining a bit about bookcrossing! I'll copy that in Greek for Trikala's bookcrossing zone!
