Crooked House

Crooked House

Agatha Christie

„Zla kuća“ je luksuzna vila porodice Leonides, nazvana tako zbog svoje neobične arhitekture. Aristid Leonides je pronađen mrtav, i u početku se čini da je umro prirodnom smrću. Međutim, otkriva se da je otrovan ezerinom, što ukazuje na ubistvo.

Čarls Hejvord, verenik Aristidove unuke Sofije, mladi je detektiv koji preuzima istragu na Sofijin zahtev. Sofija sumnja da je ubica član porodice, jer svi žive zajedno u vili punoj napetosti i tajni. Porodica uključuje Aristidovu mladu suprugu Brendu, njegovu decu Filipa i Rodžera, njihovu snaju, zeta i unuke, uključujući i Žozefinu, devojku opsednutu detektivskim pričama. Svi imaju potencijalne motive - pohlepu, ljubomoru ili skrivene sukobe.

Čarls, uz pomoć inspektora Tavernera i svog oca, policajca, istražuje složene porodične odnose. Brenda i njen ljubavnik Lorens postaju glavni osumnjičeni, ali dokazi su nejasni. Neočekivani obrt otkriva da je ubica Žozefina, koja je otrovala svog dedu iz ljubomore i želje za pažnjom. Priča tragično kulminira kada Žozefina izazove nesreću u kojoj i sama gine.

Roman istražuje mračnu stranu porodičnih veza, pohlepu i skriveno zlo. Kristi ga je smatrala jednim od svojih najboljih dela zbog šokantnog završetka i napete atmosfere.
