Book description
Agatha Christie's audacious murder mystery, reissued with a striking
cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie
fans and book lovers.
One minute, silly Heather Badcock had been gabbling on at her movie
idol, the glamorous Marina Gregg. The next, Heather suffered a massive
seizure. But for whom was the deadly poison really intended?
Marina's frozen expression suggested she had witnessed something
horrific. But, while others searched for material evidence, Jane Marple
conducted a very different investigation - into human nature. 'The
pieces finally drop into place with a satisfying click.'
Times Literary Supplement
'Agatha Christie deserves her fame.'
Times Literary Supplement 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.
