About the Author:
“The best opening I ever wrote”
Agatha Christie
“Genuine old-trusted Christie”
Time
“Professional detectives are no match for elderly spinsters... it is hard not to be impressed.”
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 languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.

A young woman found murdered A scandal in the making When Mrs Bantry wakes to find a body in her library, thereâ s only one woman to call: her good friend Jane Marple. But she hasnâ t called her old friend for comfort. The body in her library has been murdered and Miss Marple is so very good at solving murders. Her investigations uncover a scandal far darker than either of them could have imagined, and this time she may be out of her depth.
