Spider's Web

Clarissa, the young wife of a foreign office diplomat, delights in tweaking the sensibilities of her more serious friends by playing a game she calls "supposing" - imagining a difficult situation and finding out how people would respond. But Clarissa's lighthearted game becomes deadly serious when she discovers the body of an unknown person in her own drawing room. If that weren't bad enough, her husband is on the way home with an important foreign politician, and the attendant scandal of the body would irrevocably damage his career - at the very least. Therefore, Clarissa decides to dispose of the body and persuades her three houseguests to help.
But before she can get the corpse off the premises, a policeman knocks at her front door. The police received an anonymous tip about a murder in the house and have arrived to investigate. Now Clarissa must keep the body hidden, convince the skeptical police inspector that there has been no murder, and, in the meantime, find out who has been murdered, why, and what the body is doing in her house.
