Description

Agatha Christies seaside mystery thriller, based on the Devon location of Burgh Island, now reissued as a hardback Special Edition with a gorgeous new artwork cover.
It is peaceful. The sun shines. The sea is blue. But you forget, there is evil everywhere under the sun.

It was not unusual to find the beautiful bronzed body of the sun-loving Arlena Stuart stretched out on a beach, face down. Only, on this occasion, there was no sun she had been strangled.

Ever since Arlenas arrival at the resort, Hercule Poirot had detected sexual tension in the seaside air. But could this apparent crime of passion have been something more evil and premeditated altogether

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
