The Murder of my Aunt

In the beautiful Welsh countryside, Edward Powell is keeping a detailed account of his attempts to do away with his aunt. Of course, the murder of his only living relative is a preposterous notion, but that is exactly what this rather affected young man intends to do. Looked at strictly from Edward's point of view there is some excuse for malice, but on the other hand his wealthy aunt has every reason to feel unfriendly toward him. In this darkly comic, highly unpredictable, and quite immoral masterwork, the reader will find one of the most surprising denouements in all of detective fiction. This has been described as a murder story unlike any other written, with an absolutely unguessable end.
