Book description
Agatha Christie's disturbing 1960s mystery thriller, reissued with a
striking cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha
Christie fans and book lovers.
Gipsy's Acre was a truly beautiful upland site with views out to sea -
and in Michael Rogers it stirred a child-like fantasy.
There, amongst the dark fir trees, he planned to build a house, find a
girl and live happily ever after.
Yet, as he left the village, a shadow of menace hung over the land. For
this was the place where accidents happened. Perhaps Michael should have
heeded the locals' warnings: 'There's no luck for them as meddles with
Gipsy's Acre.'
Michael Rogers is a man who is about to learn the true meaning of the
old saying 'In my end is my beginning…' 'One of the best things Agatha
Christie has ever done.' Sunday Times Agatha Christie was born in
Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in
history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written
towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot,
who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since
Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of
Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language
and another billion in over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of
80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels
under the name of Mary Westmacott.
