The Mousetrap

The Mousetrap is, of course, the longest running play in modern history.  We saw it years ago in London.   I can remember seeing it, but I couldn't remember the storyline.  Hence, I was most interested to come across the story on which it's based, (Three Blind Mice) in a compilation of Agatha Christie's shorter works (some just a few pages long, others a little longer).

There's nothing that jumps out at you, when reading the written story, to suggest that it might form the basis of such a long-running play, apart from the fact that it's "vintage" Agatha Christie.   However, my memory has been refreshed as to "who dun it"!
