Agatha Christie is the world's most popular writer in modern times and her books have only been outsold by the Bible and Shakespeare. Best remembered for such classic crime novels as "Murder on the Orient Express," "And Then There Were None," and "Death on the Nile," her works have been cherished by generations of readers. Christie, however, was also a master of the shorter crime story and this volume collects some of her finest short stories. Each of these thirty-nine stories features one of Christie's famous detectives - Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, Parker Pyne, and Harley Quin - in some of their most baffling and intriguing cases, as these ingenious Christie tales show how satisfying and compelling the crime short story can be.
This companion is a feast of Agatha Christie memorabilia with a discussion of her novels in chronological order. There are jackets and bindings of first editions, stills from film and television series, photographs of the places and buildings used as settings for her stories, contemporary reviews and magazine features.
