Agatha Christie is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English with another billion in 100 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time and in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels written under the name of Mary Westmacott.

Agatha Christie's first novel, The Mystery Affair of Styles, was written towards the end of the First World War, in which she served as a VAD. In it she created Hercule Poirot, the little Belgian detective who was destined to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. It was eventually published by The Bodley Head in 1920.

In 1926, after averaging a book a year, Agatha Christie wrote her masterpiece. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was the first of her books to be published by Collins and marked the beginning of an author-publisher relationship which lasted for 50 years and well over 70 books. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was also the first of Agatha Christie's books to be dramatised - under the name Alibi - and to have a successful run in London's West End. The Mousetrap, her most famous play of all, opened in 1952 and is the longest-running play in history.

Agatha Christie was made a Dame in 1971. She died in 1976, since when a number of books have been published posthumously: the bestselling novel Sleeping Murder appeared later that year, followed by her autobiography and the short story collection Miss Marple's Final Cases, Problem at Pollensa Bay and While the Light Lasts. In 1998 Black Coffee was the first of her plays to be novelised by another author, Charles Osborne.

'By the pricking of my thumbs

Something wicked this way comes.'

MACBETH

When Tommy and Tuppence visit an elderly aunt in her gothic nursing home, they think nothing of her mistrust of the doctors; after all Ada is a very difficult old lady.

But when Mrs Lockett mentions a poisoned mushroom stew and Mrs Lancaster talks about 'something behind the fireplace', Tommy and Tuppence find themselves caught up in an unexpected adventure involving a strange inheritance, a mysterious house, black magic, a missing tombstone - and almost death for the redoutable Tuppence...

'Mystery at the usual high Christie level.' Evening Standard

有时我觉得根据英文地名音译过来的名称很难记,有点不伦不类,听着像是假洋鬼子一样让人难以接受,但之所以记得这部书是因为故事情节中出现的让我影响深刻的一个对白,是由看到《麦克白》这个书名后,男主人公不由说起其中的著名诗句“tomorrow,tomorrow and tomorrow,...

最近接连看了1978年版尼罗河上的惨案、BBC无人生还的短剧和1982年版阳光下的罪恶,让我对阿加莎这位享誉世界的侦探小说女王燃起了从未有过的好奇。恰逢市图的流动图书馆在家附近临时开放,我便充满期待的借回了这本煦阳岭的疑云,期望由此得以窥见侦探小说女王衣裙的一角。 这...

阿婆笔下的汤米和塔彭丝夫妇,原著比电视剧(故事被收编到了《马普尔小姐探案》里)来得更精彩、更现实,事实告诉我们,纵然有着强烈的第六感,但也并不代表背后的真相能够手到擒来。 原著里的塔彭丝和汤米是对普通的英国中年夫妇,过着退休的生活,儿女早已成家,每天的日子简...  

评分

前言和封底里还是塔彭丝。。正文里就是杜本丝。。。 要命的是。。。这套书其他本里面是塔彭丝。。。 看的我蛋疼无比啊。。。 我还去了人民文学出版社的主页。。娘的找不到联系他们啊。。。作为一套书籍的策划。。敢不敢不要这么着急啊。。。。

I had a hunch who the murderer is, later I thought there are just too many unassuming details to nail down the murderer, and I'm RIGHT. Btw, 2 Brother Grimm tales are mentioned in this book: red riding hood, hensel and gretel. They do ring a bell, of those good old reading times at my grandma's when i was little, isn't it nice!!

The story starts appealingly and ends in an even more unexpectedly ingenious way.

嗯,以后别人再玩“先入为主”,都要想想阿婆已经玩成这样了,轻巧有效,一击即中。还有特别漂亮的闲来一笔:在乔西爵士的记忆中,年轻时的艾达美得仿佛画中仙子,他们有过花前月下的时光,但是最终分开了,并且没有再见过面。“过了几年,我听一个家伙说她是他看过的最丑的女人,真是不敢相信。不过我现在觉得后来没见过她也许是件值得庆幸的事。”(第一篇书评提了这笔八卦)
