A selection of mysteries,some light-hearted,some romantic,some very deadly...
Twelve tantalizing cases... the curious disappearance of Lord Listerdale; a newlywed's fear of her ex-fiance; a strange encounter on a train; a domestic murder investigation; a wild man's sudden personality change; a retired inspector's hunt for a murderess; a young woman's impersonation of a duchess; a necklace hidden in a basket of cherries; a mystery writer's arrest for murder; an astonishing marriage proposal; a soprano's hatred for a baritone; the case of the rajah's emerald.
All have one thing in common: the skilful hand of Agatha Christie.

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.
