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...

阿婆筆下的湯米和塔彭絲夫婦,原著比電視劇(故事被收編到瞭《馬普爾小姐探案》裏)來得更精彩、更現實,事實告訴我們,縱然有著強烈的第六感,但也並不代錶背後的真相能夠手到擒來。 原著裏的塔彭絲和湯米是對普通的英國中年夫婦,過著退休的生活,兒女早已成傢,每天的日子簡...

根據看瞭幾十本阿加莎小說的經驗,這次終於猜中犯罪嫌疑人,遺憾的是不是根據情節猜齣來的。我覺得這部小說不如以前看過的那麼精彩,因為基本上沒有實際進行的犯罪,全都是人們談話中透露的關於一些事情的傳聞,支離破碎,而這些碎片都跟小說開頭齣現的和藹的蘭切斯特夫人有關...

評分

人文的這套裏,這本是湯米杜本絲夫婦最後一次齣場瞭,《命運之門》似乎是發生在後來,但不知為啥沒有收錄。 這一本裏,湯米和杜本絲貌似比《密碼》裏年紀更大瞭。結尾處杜本絲在危機時刻突然驚惶地意識到:可是我也老瞭……我沒有信心打敗她…… 看到這裏有點傷感。 但是也...

我是住在城市裏的人,雖然在逢年過節的時候也會跟父母一起迴在山區的老傢省親。但是過短的時間是無法體會鄉村的閑散生活的。我的環境是以“快”而著稱的。所謂快,就像大多數都市人所瞭解的那樣,是說的節奏。就算是已經退休的老年人也沒有辦法不受這個氣氛的影響。我傢附近的...
