Over 100 people were trapped for several hours in Greenway, the former home of famed British mystery writer Agatha Christie, in the English countryside on Friday.
In a series of events that could have been lifted straight out of the pages of one of Christie's mystery novels, the group of tourists were left stranded after stormy weather knocked down a tree, blocking the road leading down to the property in the county of Devon, southwest England.
A spokesperson for the National Trust said it was aware that there were "visitors, staff and volunteers still at Greenway unable to leave," adding that the National Trust was "doing everything" to ensure their comfort whilst they waited. "They are doing a great job, they are giving us free teas and things. It's a bit bleak," she remarked.
Despite the seemingly calm atmosphere, some social media users couldn't help but draw a parallel with Christie's iconic novel "And Then There Were None," which sees ten strangers inexplicably invited to a remote mansion off the Devon coast. As members of the party are mysteriously killed off, the group soon realizes there is a killer in their midst.
