Prema ništici

Agatha Christie

Instead of the usual plot where a crime occurs and is solved, Christie uses an innovative structure here: the plot "moves towards zero" – the moment the crime occurs, emphasizing the psychological and social elements that lead to the murder.

The story is set at Gull's Point, a country estate on the English coast, where a diverse cast of characters gather: Lady Tressilian, a wealthy widow; Nevile Strange, her heir and former tennis player; his new wife Kay; his ex-wife Audrey; and various relatives and friends. Tensions rise as the uneasy relationship between Nevile, Kay, and Audrey emerges, as hints of a conspiracy emerge. When Lady Tressilian is murdered, Inspector Battle, renowned for his keen insight, takes over the investigation, uncovering a complex web of motives, jealousies, and hidden passions. Christie masterfully builds suspense, using psychological insights and false clues. The novel explores themes of fate, justice, and the inevitability of crime, with an emphasis on how past events lead to a fatal outcome. Praised for its original structure and strong characters, the work has captivated readers with its subtle depth.
