I met the ex-pickpocket and burglar whose autobiography follows soon after his release from a third term in the penitentiary. For several weeks I was not particularly interested in him. He was full of a desire to publish in the newspapers an exposé of conditions obtaining in two of our state institutions, his motive seeming partly revenge and partly a very genuine feeling that he had come in contact with a systematic crime against humanity. But as I continued to see more of him, and learned much about his life, my interest grew; for I soon perceived that he not only had led a typical thief's ...

"The Lady Vanishes" erschien 1936 zunächst unter dem Titel "The Wheel Spins". Eine schöne Analogie, denn die Geschichte spielt nicht nur überwiegend in einem fahrenden Zug - auch die Protagonistin scheint ein bisschen durchgedreht zu sein: Iris, eine frivole junge Engländerin im Italienurlaub, erleidet am Rückreisetag am Bahnhof des glühend heißen Ferienorts einen Schwächeanfall. In letzter Minute landet sie in einem ebenfalls völlig überhitzen Abteil zwischen einer italienischen Familie, einer düsteren Baroness und Miss Froy, einer geschwätzigen Gouvernante, die sich um die immer noch schwache Iris kümmert, ihr aber bald auf die Nerven geht.

L'ambientazione di questo, in una casa isolata della campagna inglese, riporta al gusto dei classici thriller psicologici dell'epoca, di cui la Christie fu l'esponente più famosa. In questo volume, il cui secondo titolo era "Qualcuno deve vegliare", la suspence cresce di pagina in pagina, e nel corso del romanzo vengono seminati indizi per permettere al lettore di formare le proprie ipotesi, senza però che questo compito gli sia facile.
