The Greenway Collection

A special boxed set of the three Agatha Christie novels set in or around her home of Greenway House in Devon.

Instinctively, she senses that something sinister is about to happen...

But when a doctor turns up at the house two years afterwards with proof of Jacko's innocence, the whole family is horrified. Because it can mean only one thing - that their mother's killer is still among them...
