Before the taking of a toast and tea.(Page 5)

Towards Zero [#books #reviews]
by Agatha Christie
Superintendent Battle
← Cards on the Table
Rating: 8.5/10
When you read the account of a murder―or say, a fiction story based on murder, you usually begin with the murder itself. That's all wrong. The murder begins a long time beforehand. A murder is the culmination of a lot of different circumstances, all converging at a given moment at a given point. People are brought into it from different parts of the globe and for unforeseen reasons. [...] The murder itself is the end of the story.
It's Zero Hour.
[...]
It's Zero Hour now.
