MEDIA REVIEWS
"We couldn't help but take a peek at it beforehand,as we've been searching for an A.Christie's calendar for a long time now,and we love this. And now,when will we see the POIROT calendar"(Amazon reviewer,on the 2023 Marple calendar)
Agatha Christie
The reigning queen of crime,Agatha Christie's life took her from her home in the Devon countryside to Cairo,Australia and,of course,a journey on the Orient Express. She created two of the most famous detectives in literature,the moustached Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot and the deceptively genteel village investigator Miss Marple,as well as creating the longest running stage playThe Mousetrap.
