Description
The story takes place on a Christmas Eve in the 1950s in France. A large family in a secluded grand mansion is celebrating happily until the master of the family is found murdered. All eight women in the mansion, who are all closely linked to the deceased, are suspects. There is the elegant middle-class wife who has had a precarious on-and-off relationship with her husband; the wife’s spinster younger sister, mean but secretly enamoured of her brother-in-law; the man’s paraplegic mother-in-law, whose wealth in stocks and shares could guarantee a comfortable life in her old age; the two lovely daughters, one an avid reader of detective stories and the other a chic returnee from school in Britain; the master’s sister, a former striptease queen who can twist men round her little finger; and, finally, the two maids, one a loving motherly figure for the children and the other nonchalant and coquettish. One out of the eight is the killer. All have their own agendas and guard their own positions, and all are anxious to expose one another’s dark secrets. With scene after scene of humour-filled situations, the story sees the whole lot edge closer to uncovering the truth, which may prove too much for them to bear.
