Аннотация:
Collins brings the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie, to English language learners. Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time and in any language. Now Collins has adapted her famous detective novels for English language learners. These carefully adapted versions are shorter with the language targeted at upper-intermediate learners (CEF level B2). Each reader includes: A CD with a reading of the adapted story; Helpful notes on characters; Cultural and historical notes relevant to the plot; A glossary of the more difficult words A woman is murdered on a train. When Miss Marple telephones her friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow and asks her to go undercover as a housekeeper in a large country house to investigate the murder, Lucy quickly accepts the challenge! Who is the dead woman? What was the motive for her murder, and why was the body thrown from the speeding train and later hidden in the old barn at Rutherford Hall? When a second murder takes place, everyone at Rutherford Hall seems in danger, but Miss Marple starts to make sense of it all and sets a trap to catch the murderer.
