Agatha Christie's ingenious murder mystery,now presented as a sumptuous special edition hardback.
MEDIA REVIEWS
Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband,yet there were five other suspects: Philip Blake (the stockbroker) who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist) who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcee) who had roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess) who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister) who cried'wee wee wee'all the way home.
It is sixteen years later,but Hercule Poirot just can't get that nursery rhyme out of his mind...

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.
