Iskričavi cijanid

The story gains momentum a year after that tragic event, when her husband George Barton becomes convinced that her death was not suicide, but murder. George organizes another dinner with the same guests, hoping to uncover the truth about what happened. However, the plan ends with another shocking crime.

Unlike many of Christie's other works, this does not involve her most famous detectives, Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple, but instead relies on psychological analysis and character relationships to unravel the mystery.

The novel is known for its atmosphere of tension, brilliant plot and unexpected denouement, which is the author's trademark. "Sparkling Cyanide" was also adapted for television, which further testifies to its popularity.
