Agatha Christie introduced a supernatural element in many of her works... But don't forget that she was a nurse, and therefore she was fond of science...Anyway The Sittaford Mystery is the first Christie's long story with a supernatural element: a séance, in a remote house in the middle of a nowhere place called Dartmoor, in which some people assist with terror to the revelation that somebody is being murdered at that same time...
After that, the dead's man body is found, and a young man is accused of the murder... His fiancée will do her best to prove him innocent... Anyway, she won't be alone in her inquest...
Well... I suppose that it's not one of her best stories, but has all the elements one likes about Agatha Christie's works... But I must admit, that, for the first time, I discovered it all before it was revealed in the book (I usually can't guess it right, unlike my mother, who always guesses correctly everything in books as in movies... She might be a genius. It's a pity she isn't aware of it... yet... :D)
