The Hollow

Based on the Agatha Christie 'whodunnit'.

A house party explodes into murder one weekend at The Hollow, home of Sir Henry and Lucy Angkatell. Dr John Cristow is at the centre of the trouble, for at The Hollow are Henrietta, his mistress, Veronica, his ex-mistress and Gerda, his wife. To further complicate matters, also present is Edward, in love with Henrietta, and Midge, in love with Edward. Veronica ardently desires to marry John Cristow but although she succeeds in re-opening their affair, he refuses to divorce his wife.

At this point, Veronica unwisely threatens that if she cannot have him, no-one else shall. Within five minutes, Cristow is dead.

Nearly everyone has a motive to wish Cristow dead; most had the opportunity, but who actually did the murder has to be discovered by Inspector Colquhoun and Sergeant Penny.
