This is a story that Christie truly enjoyed writing.
There was a family living in the crooked house. From the mother side, Christie said she passed down ruthlessness. Yet her clan are honest people. From the father side, he passed down crookedness; the type that made him tons of wealth but he never broke any law. He was, however, a kindly man.
The ruthlessness met with the crookedness in one grand daughter. She murdered her grand father because he would not allow her to have ballet lessons. Often murders were committed for wealth or love, but interestingly here it was committed for such a trivial reason. All in, four lives were taken before the pathetic little monster was stopped.
To think about it, having children is like gambling! Who really would know what kind we would beget? It is a matter of different genetic combinations. Often we get dominant genes; once in a blue moon, we get double recessive - something which has skipped a generation or two has returned. Sometimes it is physical ailments. Other times we get an amoral off spring. May God help the family when that happens!
