A respectable household is shocked when a strange police inspector
visits them shortly after dinner... and proceeds to unravel their
prejudices and lies. Through this almost surreal murder-mystery,
Priestley interweaves social comment with a gripping story that twists
and turns every few pages.
The book includes an illustrated Character List (Dramatis Personae), 132
pages of story artwork, and fascinating support material that details
the life and work of J.B. Priestley - all beautifully presented in
color.
This edition presents the entire play with simplified US English, ideal
for ELL students, reluctant readers, or for students who want a quick
understanding of the play before tackling the full text. Artwork and
page numbers are identical to the Original Text edition, enabling
differentiation in the classroom.
