About this title

Review:

"A brilliantly ingenious story."--Dorothy L. Sayers, Daily Herald (UK)

"It's tempting to say that Agatha Christie is a genius and let it go at that, but the world's had plenty of geniuses. Agatha Christie is something special."--Lawrence Block, New York Times bestselling author

"[Moves] smoothly and entertainingly to its surprise conclusion."--Chicago Daily Tribune

"Nothing short of swell. [Christie] is probably the best suspicion scatterer and diverter in the business."--New York Herald Tribune

"Need it be said--the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end."--Times Literary Supplement (London)

"What more...can a mystery addict desire?"--New York Times

"Agatha Christie's books are both wonderful crime novels and studies in contrast and duality, and I adore them still. Underestimate them at your peril."--Louise Penny, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Inspector Gamache novels

"Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction."--Tana French, New York Times-bestselling author of the Dublin Murder Squad novels

"Agatha Christie taught me many important lessons about the inner workings of the mystery novel before it ever occurred to me that I might one day be writing mysteries myself."--Sue Grafton, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Kinsey Millhone novels

"Any mystery writer who wants to learn how to plot should spend a few days reading Agatha Christie. She'll show you everything you want to know."--Donna Leon, New York Times-bestselling author of the Commissario Brunetti novels

"I always wanted to be Agatha Christie when I grew up. I still do."--J. A. Jance, New York Times-bestselling author of the Joanna Brady and J. P. Beaumont novels

"Agatha Christie's indelibly etched characters have entertained millions across the years and a love of her work has brough together generations of readers--a singular achievement for any author and an inspiration to writers across the literary landscape."--Jacqueline Winspear, New York Times-bestselling author of the Maisie Dobbs novels
