Product Description

Other crime writers may come and go, but Agatha Christie maintains her enduring appeal and for her millions of fans this book is the next best thing to a new Christie novel. The authors have assembled a mouth-watering feast of period memorabilia --the jackets of first editions, stills from films and television series, photographs of the places and buildings that Christie used as settings for her stories, contemporary reviews and magazine features--which effortlessly transports the reader back into the world of Christie and her characters. Each of the novels is discussed in order of publication with a summary of the plot, information on Christie's own life at the time the book was written, an account of its reception, and details of subsequent films and TV series. The result is a unique companion to Christie's novels that will have enormous appeal to everyone who loves her work.
