Just finished "Dead Man's Folly" by Agatha Christie. This was her 58th book, and was originally published in 1956.
Famed crime novelist Ariadne Oliver is invited to plan a "Murder Hunt" at a stately home in the SW of England. She is uneasy about the situation she discovers there, and asks her old friend Hercule Poirot for help. Despite Poirot's presence, the murder soon becomes real, and Poirot investigates.
Not one of Christie's better books, to my mind. It's all a bit of a caricature of an "English Country House" murder and really didn't work for me.
