What does Christow's death have to do with his current and former lovers, both of whom are nearby? What secrets are the weekend guests hiding in this case of love, deceit, mystery, and death?]]>

    <![CDATA[Agatha Christie is more than the most popular mystery writer of all time. In a career that spans over half a century, her name is synonymous with brilliant deception, ingenious puzzles, and the surprise denouement. By virtually inventing the modern mystery novel she has earned her title as the Queen of Crime. Curious? Then you're invited to read....THE MYSTERIOUS MR. QUINA conjurer of skill with an instinct for detection, Mr. Harley Quin has an almost magical flair for appearing at the scene of the most remarkable crimes. But is it just a trick of light that haunts his shadow with a ghostly apparition? Is it fate that invites him to a New Year's Eve murder? And what forces are at work when his car breaks down outside Royston Hall, an isolated estate with a deadly history? With fantastic intrigue, uncanny procedure, and Agatha Christie's most charismatic creation, these dazzling stories remain personal favorites for the queen of crime.AUTHORBIO: AGATHA CHRISTIE is the world's best known mystery writer. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in 44 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her writing career spanned more than half a century, during which she wrote 80 novels and short story collections, as well as 14 plays, one of which, The Mousetrap, is the longest-running play in history. Two of the characters she created, the brilliant little Belgian Hercule Poirot and the irrepressible and relentless Miss Marple, went on to become world-famous detectives. Both have been widely dramatized in feature films and made-for-TV movies.Agatha Christie also wrote under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. As well, she wrote four non-fiction books including an autobiography and an entertaining account of the many expeditions she shared with her archaeologist husband, Sir Max Mallowan. Agatha Christie died in 1976.]]>

By virtually inventing the modern mystery novel she has earned her title as the Queen of Crime. Curious? Then you're invited to read...MURDER IS EASYIt was just Luke Fitzwilliam's luck to be stuck next to a dotty old woman like Miss Fullerton on the London-bound train-although he found himself quite entertained with her tall tales about a series of perfect murders in the quaint village of Wychwood. But when he reads the next day of the freak accident that killed her, too, Fitzwilliam's amusement turns to grave concern. A visit to the isolated village confirms his worst fears. For Wychwood seems to divided by an eccentric lot of locals: those who are in on a dark and dangerous secret-and those who don't live long enough to share it.AUTHORBIO: AGATHA CHRISTIE is the world's best known mystery writer.

Her husband George never believed his wife would commit suicide - especially now that he's received two anonymous letters to suggest cold-blooded murder.  One implicates George himself.  It's true he long suffered Rosemary's infidelities.  But what about her embittered sister who was left out of the family will?  Or her secret lovers, or their betrayed wives? Not one of them has ever forgotten or forgiven Rosemary.  But only one of them killed her. . .<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[A blinding snowstorm--and a homicidal maniac--traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Out of this deceptively simple set-up, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which, in turn, would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history. From this classic title novella to the deliciously clever gems on its tail (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple), this rare collection of murder most foul showcases the intimtable Christie at her inventive best, proving her reputation as &quot;the champion deceiver of our time.&quot; (<em>The New York Times)</em><br/>]]>

It was to be a particularly unlucky evening for the mild-mannered Reverend Stephen Babbington, who choked on his cocktail, went into convulsions and died.  But when his martini glass was sent for chemical analysis, there was no trace of poison -- just as Poirot had predicted. Even more troubling for the great detective, there was absolutely no motive!]]>

Especially elusive is a magnificent piece of property in Kingston Bishop--unil a chance meeting with a beautiful heiress makes his dreams possible. Marrying her is the first step. Building the perfect home is the next. Unfortunately, Michael ignored the local warnings about the deadly curse buried in the tract of land, and living out his dreams may exact a higher price than he ever imagined. Praised as one of Agatha Christie's most unusual forays into gothic, psychological suspense, this novel of fate, chance, and the nature of evil was a personal favorite of the author's as well.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Recovering from amnesia, Dr. Arthur Calgary discovers that he alone could have provided an alibi in a scandalous murder trial. It ended in the conviction of Jacko Argyle. The victim was Jacko's own mother, and to make matters worse, he died in prison. But the young man's innocence means that someone else killed the Argyle matriarch, and would certainly kill again to remain in the shadows. Shaded in the moral ambiguity of murder, the provocative psychological puzzler of guilt, vengeance, and blood secrets is among Agatha Christie's personal favorites.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Was it really the Thomasina Tuckerton--dropout heiress turned bohemian beat girl--seen in a cafe brawl with another woman? Her obituary confirms it. Thomasina's unfortunate demise would have passed unnoticed if it hadn't been for the priest who suffered a fatal blow at the hand of a stranger only days later. What's the connection? A list of names hidden in father Gorman's shoes--among them, Miss Tuckerton's. It leads to a former country inn, now a house called, <em>The Pale Horse</em>, and a sinister pattern woven by three unusual ladies--a psychic, a medium, and a witch--each with a secret of her own.<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[Agatha Christie is more than the most popular mystery writer of all time. In a career that spans over half a century, her name is synonymous with brilliant deception, ingenious puzzles, and the surprise denouement. By virtually inventing the modern mystery novel she has earned her title as the Queen of Crime. Curious? Then you're invited to read....THE SITTAFORD MYSTERYM-U-R-D-E-R. It began as an innocent parlor game intended to while away the hours on a bitter winter night.But the message that appeared before the amateur occultists at the snowbound Sittaford House was spelled out as loud and clear as a scream. Of course, the notion that they had foretold doom was pure bunk. Wasn't it? And the discovery of a corpse was pure coincidence. Wasn't it? If they're to discover the answer to this baffling murder, perhaps they should play again. But a journey into the spirit world could prove terribly dangerous-especially when the killer is lurking in this one.AUTHORBIO: AGATHA CHRISTIE is the world's best known mystery writer. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in 44 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her writing career spanned more than half a century, during which she wrote 80 novels and short story collections, as well as 14 plays, one of which, The Mousetrap, is the longest-running play in history. Agatha Christie also wrote under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. As well, she wrote four non-fiction books including an autobiography and an entertaining account of the many expeditions she shared with her archaeologist husband, Sir Max Mallowan. Agatha Christie died in 1976.]]>

    <![CDATA[A stunningly repackaged omnibus, gathering together every short story featuring one of Agatha Christie's most famous creations: Miss Marple.  Described by her friend Dolly Bantry as ' the typical old maid of fiction', Miss Marple has lived almost her entire life in the sleepy hamlet of St Mary Mead. Yet, by observing village life she has gained an unparalleled insight into human nature - and used it to devasting effect. As her friend Sir Henry Clithering, the ex-Commissioner of Scotland Yard has been heard to say: 'She's just the finest detective God ever made.' - and many Agatha Christie fans would agree.  Appearing for the first time in The Murder at The Vicarage (1930) her crime-fighting career spanned over forty years when she solved her final case in 1977 in Sleeping Murder. With every tale flawlessly plotted by the Queen of Crime herself, these short stories provide a feast for hardened Agatha Christie addicts as well as those who have grown to love the detective through her many film and television appearances.]]>

    <![CDATA[Agatha Christie is more than the most popular mystery writer of all time. In a career that spans over half a century, her name is synonymous with brilliant deception, ingenious puzzles, and the surprise denouement. By virtually inventing the modern mystery novel she has earned her title as the Queen of Crime. Curious? Then you're invited to read....PARKER PYNE INVESTIGATESThe personal ad posed a simple question: Are you happy? If not, consult Mr. Parker Pyne. The answer is a resounding no for a jealous wife who suspects her husband of infidelity....for a lonely widow driven to assume a new identity....for a distraught mother whose son has been kidnapped....and for the fianc of a strangely reclusive bride-to-be. But what sort of detective would solicit in the personals? The sort who has a knack for investigating affairs of the heart. For therein lie the darkest motives for murder. And they are proving most lucrative for the hopelessly romantic-and highly suspicious Inspector Parker Pyne.AUTHORBIO: AGATHA CHRISTIE is the world's best known mystery writer. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in 44 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her writing career spanned more than half a century, during which she wrote 80 novels and short story collections, as well as 14 plays, one of which, The Mousetrap, is the longest-running play in history. Two of the characters she created, the brilliant little Belgian Hercule Poirot and the irrepressible and relentless Miss Marple, went on to become world-famous detectives. Both have been widely dramatized in feature films and made-for-TV movies.Agatha Christie also wrote under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. As well, she wrote four non-fiction books including an autobiography and an entertaining account of the many expeditions she shared with her archaeologist husband, Sir Max Mallowan. Agatha Christie died in 1976.]]>

    <![CDATA[Nearly a quarter-century after her death, Agatha Christie remains the most popular mystery writer of all time. Now, in a celebrated publishing event, fans and newcomers alike are treated to another Christie novel. Created in 1930 as a stage play and faithfully adapted by Charles Osborne, <em>Black Coffee</em> brings back beloved detective Hercule Poirot to exercise his &quot;little grey cells&quot; one more deliciously deductive time... <br/><br/>An urgent call from physicist Sir Claud Amory sends famed detective Hercule Poirot rushing from London to a sprawling country estate. Sir Claud fears a member of his own household wants to steal a secret formula destined for the Ministry of Defense. But Poirot arrives too late. The formula is missing. Worse, Sir Claud has been poisoned by his after-dinner coffee. Poirot soon identifies a potent brew of despair, treachery, and deception amid the mansion's occupants. Now he must find the formula and the killer...while letting no poison slip 'twix his low lips. <br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[The unabridged tales in this <em>Mystery Masters</em> audiobook include all the ones in the print book first published in 1974. With each case, Poirot further proves his reputation as the greatest mind in detective fiction. In &quot;The Plymouth Express,&quot; the body of the daughter of a wealthy American industrialist is found stuffed under a train seat. &quot;Problem at Sea&quot; finds a disliked rich woman murdered in a locked room on a ship. &quot;The King of Clubs&quot; involves a prince, his dancer fiancée, and a fiendish bit of blackmail. These gems are alternately read by David Suchet and Hugh Fraser, whose roles as, respectively, Poirot and his sidekick, Captain Hugh Hastings, in PBS's <em>Mystery!</em> series and the Arts and Entertainment's <em>Poirot</em> series are considered definitive.<br/><br/>This collection contains the following stories: &quot;The Adventure of Johnnie <br/>Waverly,&quot; &quot;The Adventure of the Clapham Cook,&quot; &quot;The Affair of the Victory <br/>Ball,&quot; &quot;The Chocolate Box,&quot; &quot;The Cornish Mystery,&quot; &quot;The Double Clue,&quot; <br/>&quot;Double Sin,&quot; &quot;How Does Your Garden Grow?,&quot; &quot;The King of Clubs,&quot; &quot;The <br/>Lemesurier Inheritance,&quot; &quot;Lost Mine,&quot; &quot;Market Basing Mystery,&quot; &quot;The <br/>Plymouth Express,&quot; &quot;Problem at Sea,&quot; &quot;The Submarine Plans,&quot; &quot;The Third-Floor <br/>Flat,&quot; &quot;The Veiled Lady,&quot; and &quot;Wasps' Nest.&quot;]]>

She is regarded by generations of fans as the greatest mystery writer ever, and her novels are read and cherished the world over. Clarissa, the young wife of a Foreign Office Diplomat, delights in tweaking the sensibilities of her more serious friends and for playing a game she calls &quot;supposing&quot; - imagining a difficult situation and figuring out how people would respond.But Clarissa's lighthearted game becomes deadly serious when she discovers the dead body of an unknown person in her own drawing room.If that wasn't bad enough, her husband is on the way home with an important foreign politician and the attendant scandal of the dead body would irrevocably damage his career at the very least.Therefore, Clarissa decides to dispose of the body and persuades her three houseguests to help. But before she can get the body off the premises, a policeman arrives at her front door.The police received an anonymous tip about a murder in the house and have shown up to investigate.Now Clarissa must keep the body hidden, convince the skeptical police inspector that there has been no murder, and, in the meantime, find out who has been murdered, why, and what the body is doing in her house. Originally written by Agatha Christie as a play in 1954, now rendered as a novel by Charles Osborne, Spider's Web is a compelling tale of murder and deceit sure to entertain and amuse the legions of Christie's fans worldwide.]]>

    <![CDATA[Agatha Christie is more than the most popular mystery writer of all time. In a career that spans over half a century, her name is synonymous with brilliant deception, ingenious puzzles, and the surprise denouement. By virtually inventing the modern mystery novel she has earned her title as the Queen of Crime. Curious? Then you're invited to read...  <p>  DOUBLE SIN AND OTHER STORIES  <p>  In one of London's most elegant shops, a decorative doll in green velvet adopts some rather human-and sinister-traits... A country gentleman is questioned about a murder that has yet to be committed... In summoning spirits, a medium is drawn closer to the world of the dead than she ever imagined possible... In a small country church, a dying man's final word, sanctuary, becomes both an elegy and a clue to a crime. Only the Queen of Crime could have conceived such delicious treats for mystery lovers. Only the inimitable Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, could solve them with such chilling perfection.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Agatha Christie was already a celebrated writer of mysteries in 1930 when she married the archaeologist Max Mallowan. In the pre–war years thereafter, Christie enthusiastically joined her husband on various archaeological expeditions in the Middle East, and these shared adventures, these happy and memorable times, provided her not only with the background for several of her novels, but also with the 'everyday doings and happenings' which she zestfully describes in the pages of this high–spirited memoir, which was first published in 1946. ]]>

Or Mr Satterthwaite, who seeks inspiration through his collaboration with the enigmatic Mr Quin in <em>The Harlequin Tea Set</em>  mystery. Then, of course, there's Poirot, whose measured analysis of motive and opportunity is tested to the full in <em>Yellow Iris</em>, when he 1890 and become, quite receives an anonymous call about a matter of life and death.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[All 51 Hercule Poirot short stories presented in chronological order in a single volume - plus a bonus story not seen for more than 70 years. 'My name is Hercule Poirot and I am probably the greatest detective in the world.' The dapper, moustache-twirling little Belgian with the egg-shaped head, curious mannerisms and inordinate respect for his own 'little grey cells' has solved some of the most puzzling crimes of the century. Appearing in Agatha Christie's very first novel in 1920 and her very last in 1975, Hercule Poirot became the most celebrated detective since Sherlock Holmes, appearing in 33 novels, a play, and these 51 short stories. Arranged in their original publication order, these short stories provide a feast for hardened Agatha Christie addicts as well as those who have grown to love the detective through his many film and television appearances. This new edition now also includes Poirot and the Regatta Mystery, an early version of an Agatha Christie story not published since 1936!]]>

    <![CDATA[For the first time in one volume, the complete collection of fifty stories about Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot.  The shrewd little detective with the egg-shaped head and the enormous black mustaches was created by one of the great storytellers of the world.  Only she couls have devised the cases worthy of his skill, the ingenious mysteries that challenge the reader as well as the detective.<br/><br/>Poirot had a passion for order, for rational thought, and he had a justified confidence in his deductive genius.  No matter what the provocation, he remained calm.  Although his character does not change, there is a spectacular diversity in the plots and themes of the cases.  But whether murders are committed by violence, by poison, or by more subtle means, Poirot finds the solution.  Thefts of money or jewels are uncovered or thwarted.  Here too are Poirot's famous adventures against modern monsters of evil from <em>The Labors of Hercules</em>.  There is variety in the length of the cases, which range from &quot;The Wasp's Nest,&quot; a very brief tale of a crime prevented, to &quot;The Under Dog,&quot; a story of almost novella length about the trapping of a killer.  These and all the other brilliant stories make this volume solid, satisfying entertainment.<br/><br/>Includes stories from:<br/>Dead Man's Mirror (1937)<br/>Double Sin (1961)<br/>The Labors of Hercules (1947)<br/>Poirot Investigates (1924)<br/>The Regatta Mystery (1939)<br/>Three Blind Mice (1950)<br/>The Under Dog (1926)<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot;Crime for Christmas&quot; is a glorious collection of festive frissons for those who tire of days and nights filled with goodwill...<br/>There are contributions from Thomas Hardy and Arthur Conan Doyle from the Victorian Age; classic murder mysteries from Agatha Christie and Edgar Wallace, and contemporary crimes from Ellis Peters and H.R.F. Keating. Of particular note is Wilkie Collins' &quot;Mr Wray's Cash Box&quot;, reprinted for the first time since it was originally published in 1852.<br/>Only at Christmastide could Sherlock Holmes discover the connection between a missing goose and a jewellery robbery; only Miss Marple could follow so convoluted a murder trail as that which baffles the police at the Keston Spa Hydro; only H.C. Bailey's Reggie Fortune could possibly uncover the murderer who so brutally disrupted the children's home annual party.<br/><br/>Includes:<br/>Ellis Peters &quot;The Trinity Cat&quot;<br/>Raymund Allen &quot;A Happy Solution&quot;<br/>Arthur Conan Doyle &quot;The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle&quot;<br/>H.R.F. Keating &quot;An Upright Woman&quot;<br/>Christopher Hallam &quot;A Book for Christmas&quot;<br/>Lennox Robinson &quot;A Pair of Muddy Shoes&quot;<br/>H.C. Bailey &quot;The Unknown Murderer&quot;<br/>Edgar Wallace &quot;The Buoy That Did Not Light&quot;<br/>Agatha Christie &quot;A Christmas Tragedy&quot;<br/>Fergus Hume &quot;The Ghost's Touch&quot;<br/>Pamela Sewell &quot;The Grotto&quot;<br/>David G. Rowlands &quot;The Show Must Not Go On&quot;<br/>Dick Donovan &quot;Red Lily&quot;<br/>C.L. Pirkis &quot;The Black Bag Left on a Doorstep&quot;<br/>Thomas Hardy &quot;The Grave by the Handpost&quot;<br/>Wilkie Collins &quot;Mr Wray's Cash Box&quot;]]>
