Description

|
|
|
Alice Ascher, a shopkeeper in Andover, is bludgeoned to death at her place of work in this fiendishly clever mystery from 1936. Next to die is Miss Bernard in Bexhill, then Mr. Clarke in Churston. More disturbing than the alphabetic pattern or the ABC Railway guide left at each crime scene are the taunting notes Hercule Poirot receives each time the killer is about to strike. If you have ever felt you missed the opportunity to collect a set of Agatha Christie mysteries in hardcover, this edition and the others in the series at last give you your chance. It features sewn bindings, cream stock, and colored endpapers. "Agatha Christie is a brilliant literary conjuror. She places her characters face downwards like playing cards, shuffles them with cunning hands, and time after time we point to the wrong card. She has intrigued, thrilled, and baffled readers for nearly 90 years and the magic is as potent as ever."—P.D. James
