Agatha Christies classic mystery reissued with a new cover to tie in with Hugh Lauries highly anticipated 2022 TV adaptation.
While playing an erratic round of golf, Bobby Jones slices his ball over the edge of a cliff. His ball is lost, but on the rocks below he finds the crumpled body of a dying man. The man opens his eyes and, with his last breath, says, Why didnt they ask Evans
Haunted by those words, Bobby and his vivacious companion, Frankie, set out to solve a mystery that will plunge them into mortal danger
A story that tickles and tantalizes but never exhausts the readers patience or ingenuity. Times Literary Supplement
Agatha Christie is the gateway drug to crime fiction both for readers and for writers. Val McDermid
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.
