If you are a mystery buff, an Agatha Christie fan, an occasional Christie reader or an acquaintance of any of the above, this book is for you and all your fortunate friends
The Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Agatha Christie, on the 25th anniversary of Agatha Christie's death, continues as a grand salute to the queen of mysteries. It is filled with wonderful and surprising things about her books, her characters, the movies and plays based on them, and Dame Agatha herself. Original contributions by some sixty writers celebrate the Christie touch. Take your pick among thse intriguing features and speculations:
-Surviving an English country weekend - if you had the advice of Hercule
Poirot
- A guide to the Christie poisions, as well as the cruder methods of genteel
mayhem
- The "other" Agatha Christie who wrote romantic novels
- A murder victim's (!) first-person account of a Christie Mystery Weekend
- The Hercule Poirot Double-Crostic and other puzzles
That's a taste. There's much more - and witty plot summaries of all Christie's novels, plays, and many of her short stories. (But no endings, of course!) This treasury is more than entertainment - it is also a personal reference work for Christie fans. And there are scores of movie posters, film stills, illustrations and a Christie mystery map, too.
