"The Mousetrap" is a murder mystery by Agatha Christie. It is known for having the longest initial run of any play in the world, with over 23,000 performances since beginning its run in the West End of London in 1952.

The play is known for its twist ending, which at the end of every performance the audience is asked not to reveal.

The story is about a young couple, Mollie and Giles Ralston, who have started up a new hotel in the converted Monkswell Manor. They are snowed in together with four guests and an additional traveller, who ran his car into a snowdrift. Detective Sergeant Trotter arrives on skis to inform the group that he believes a murderer is on his way to the hotel, following the death of Miss Maureen Lyon in London.

When one of the guests - Mrs Boyle - is killed, they realize that the murderer is already there. The suspicion falls first on Christopher Wren, an erratic young man who fits the description of the supposed murderer. However, it quickly transpires that the killer could be any one of the guests, or even the hosts themselves.
