Tory Van Dyne is the most down-to-earth member of a decidedly eccentric old-money New York family. For one thing, as book conservator at Manhattan''s Mystery Guild Library, she actually has a job. Plus, she''s left up-town society behind for a quiet life downtown. So she''s not thrilled when she discovers a woman in the library''s Christie Room who calmly introduces herself as Agatha Christie, politely requests a cocktail, and announces she''s there to help solve a murder - that has not yet happened. But as soon as Tory determines that this is just a fairly nutty Christie fangirl, her socialite/actress cousin Nicola gets caught up in the suspicious death of her less-than-lovable talent agent.

Because, in the immortal words of Miss Jane Marple, ''murder is never simple.''
