A blinding snowstorm-and a homicidal maniac-traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. The plot later takes on a claustrophobic feeling that leads into an unexpected end. Out of this deceptively simple set-up, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers that later became a successful play. Description in Spanish: En una pequena fonda aislada por la nieve, se desarrolla una inquietante trama claustrofobica que desemboca en un inesperado final. El relato dio origen a la famosa obra teatral La ratonera, que lleva mas de cuarenta anos en la cartelera de Londres.
