Among the towering red cliffs and the ancient ruins of Petra sits the corpse of Mrs. Boynton, the cruel and tyrannizing matriarch of the Boynton family. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her. With only twenty-four hours to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalls a remark he overheard back in Jerusalem: "You do see, don't you, that she's got to be killed?" Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he had ever met.

This book is a comprehensive exploration of 90 years of film and television adaptations of the world’s best-selling novelist’s work. Drawing on extensive archival material, it offers new information regarding both the well-known and forgotten screen adaptations of Agatha Christie’s stories, including unmade and rare adaptations, some of which have been unseen for more than half a century. This history offers intriguing insights into the discussions and debates that surrounded many of these screen projects – something that is brought to life through previously unpublished correspondence from Christie herself and a new wide-ranging interview with her grandson, Mathew Prichard. Agatha Christie on Screen takes the reader on a journey from little known silent film adaptations, through to famous screen productions including 1974’s Murder on the Orient Express, as well as the television series of the Poirot and Miss Marple stories and, most recently, the BBC’s acclaimed version of And Then There Were None.                                               

From Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes to the cosy crimes of the Golden Age, renowned historian Lucy Worsley explores the evolution of the traditional English murder―and reveals why we are so fascinated by this sinister subject. Murder―a dark, shameful deed, the last resort of the desperate or a vile tool of the greedy. And a very strange, very English obsession. But where did this fixation develop? And what does it tell us about ourselves?In The Art of the English Murder, Lucy Worsley explores this phenomenon in forensic detail, revisiting notorious crimes like the Ratcliff Highway Murders, which caused a nationwide panic in the early nineteenth century, and the case of Frederick and Maria Manning, the suburban couple who were hanged after killing Maria’s lover and burying him under their kitchen floor. Our fascination with crimes like these became a form of national entertainment, inspiring novels and plays, prose and paintings, poetry and true-crime journalism. At a point during the birth of modern England, murder entered our national psyche, and it’s been a part of us ever since. The Art of the English Murder is a unique exploration of the art of crime―and a riveting investigation into the English criminal soul by one of our finest historians. 24 pages of color and B&W illustrations

"Mrs. Bantry was dreaming. Her sweet pea had just taken a First at the flower show. The vicar, dressed in cassock and surplice, was giving out the prizes in church. His wife wandered past, dressed in a bathing suit, but, as is the blessed habit of dreams, this fact did not arouse the disapproval of the parish in the way it would assuredly have done in real life. Mrs. Bantry was enjoying her dream a good deal. She usually did enjoy those early-morning dreams that were terminated by the arrival of early-morning tea. Somewhere in her inner consciousness was an awareness of the usual early-morning noises of the household........"

A biographical companion to the works of Agatha Christie -- revised and updated edition Agatha Christie was the author of over 100 plays, short story collections and novels which have been translated into 103 languages; she is outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Many have tried to copy her but none has succeeded. Attempts to capture her personality on paper, to discover her motivations or the reasons for her popularity, have usually failed. Charles Osborne, a lifelong student of Agatha Christie, has approached this most private of persons above all through her books, and the result is a fascinating companion to her life and work. This 'professional life' of Agatha Christie provides authoritative information on each book's provenance, on the work itself and on its contemporary critical reception set against the background of the major events in the author's life. Illustrated with many rare photographs, this comprehensive guide to the world of Agatha Christie has been fully updated to include details of all the publications, films and TV adaptations in the 25 years since her death.

Agatha Christie: A Tommy and Tuppence Beresford murder mystery. Hardcover Book, with a jacket cover, 1968. From the Jacket cover: Because a sweet old lady disappeared, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, that shrewd and engaging detective team, came out of retirement to take on their most baffling case. They had gone to visit Tommy's Aunt Ada at Sunny Ridge, a well-run home for elderly ladies. On the surface, Sunny Ridge appeared to be a model of its kind. Or was it? Soon after Aunt Ada died peacefully in her bed, her friend Mrs. Lancaster left very suddenly in the care of somewhat mysterious relatives. Tuppence had misgivings-Tommy started by pooh-poohing them. But Tuppence made up her mind that she would discover what had really happened to old Mrs. Lancaster. Her only clue was an oil painting of a house by a canal. It was to lead Tuppence to a peaceful village "where nothing ever happens," to a character whom she christened "the friendly witch," and to hunt through ancient tombstones in a churchyard. Then Tommy returned from a hush-hush conference and found that Tuppence had failed to return from ther quest! Brilliantly sustained mystery is always to be found in a novel by Agatha Christie, but her latest story contains an extra element, and might equally well have been titled "By the Chilling of Your Spine".

This book provides the first comprehensive definition of the puzzle elements in Agatha Christie’s novels, proposing the idea that murder stories can be deconstructed into three puzzle elements – Solution, Plot and Clues. It then analyses how well those puzzle elements work in the 21 novels of her principal detective, Hercule Poirot, published during what can fairly be regarded as the Golden Age of detective fiction (1918 – 1945). The analysis therefore covers Poirot’s most famous novels such as The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Murder on the Orient Express, The ABC Murders and Death on the Nile. As Dr John Curran, the leading Agatha Christie expert, says in his Introduction, the book provides an accessible way for readers – not just Christie scholars but her general readership – to understand how the novels work as puzzles. And, as Scott Baker, the leading Christie memorabilia collector, says in his review on the Amazon Australia site, the book shows us just how incredible the novels are and is a must for the Christie scholar and fan alike. The book also gives readers the chance to re-live, at a readable length, the intrigue or cosiness of a favourite novel from a new perspective, reminding them how much they enjoyed, or were intrigued by, a particular solution, plot or clue and perhaps enabling them to appreciate points which they had not previously spotted. The book is unofficial in the sense that it has not been sponsored by Agatha Christie’s estate but is the culmination of an extensive independent critical study of her work by the author. He brings to this challenge not only the enthusiasm and warmth of a lifelong Christie fan but also the forensic skills of a former lawyer who was for many years a partner in a major City firm in London.

This compendium lists Agatha Christie's 66 detective novels and 144 short stories. Each page contains a plot outline (although some take up only seven lines) that ends before the solution; these are listed in an appendix for the bolder reader. Morselt, who is director of the Computer Center of the University of Eindhoven in Holland and an ardent Christie fan, offers this work "to solve all those arguments." Nevertheless it is difficult to discern either readership or usage. Plot descriptions are spare and dry, and lack appreciationof the complexity of the novels' constructions. One cannot help but feel that Dame Agatha would have been horrified at this version of computerized Christie. FebruaryCopyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Considered to be one of Agatha Christie’s most controversial mysteries, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd breaks all the rules of traditional mystery writing. A widow’s suicide has stirred rumors of blackmail, and of a secret lover named Roger Ackroyd, who was found stabbed to death in his study. The case is so unconventional that not even crack detective Hercule Poirot has a clue as to how to solve it.
