About the book: 1947 / The plot of the novel develops with a tension unusual for the entire series - this is not a heroine who, after five minutes of reflection, sets off to the edge of England, but a motley crowd of people rounded up to one house and brought under suspicion. In some ways, "The Glowing Spot" is a milder version of "Ten Little Indians", and all unpleasant people should die in direct proportion to the severity of their misdeeds.
