The Man in the Brown Suit

Agatha Christie

 

Synopsis

In 1922 Agatha Christie visited Bulawayo, staying at the Grand Hotel, before moving on to the Victoria Falls Hotel. She was inspired by her visit to write her third book, The Man in the Brown Suit, which was set partly in Zimbabwe, as the two main characters end up living on an island in the Zambezi. One scrap of paper links a diamond robbery, an accidental death, a London tube station — and a murder in a remote country mansion. Anne Beddingfield follows the mystery all the way to Africa, to Bulawayo and the Zambezi River
