Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in 44 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her writing career spanned more than half a century, during which she wrote 80 novels and short story collections, as well as 14 plays, one of which, The Mousetrap, is the longest-running play in history. Two of the characters she created, the brilliant little Belgian Hercule Poirot and the irrepressible and relentless Miss Marple, went on to become world-famous detectives. Both have been widely dramatized in feature films and made-for-TV movies. Agatha Christie also wrote under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. As well, she wrote four non-fiction books including an autobiography and an entertaining account of the many expeditions she shared with her archaeologist husband, Sir Max Mallowan. Agatha Christie died in 1976. 内容简介Agatha Christie is more than the most popular mystery writer of all time. In a career that spans over half a century, her name is synonymous with brilliant deception, ingenious puzzles, and the surprise denouement. By virtually inventing the modern mystery novel she has earned her title as the Queen of Crime. Curious? Then you're invited to read... DOUBLE SIN AND OTHER STORIES In one of London's most elegant shops, a decorative doll in green velvet adopts some rather human-and sinister-traits... A country gentleman is questioned about a murder that has yet to be committed... In summoning spirits, a medium is drawn closer to the world of the dead than she ever imagined possible... In a small country church, a dying man's final word, sanctuary, becomes both an elegy and a clue to a crime. Only the Queen of Crime could have conceived such delicious treats for mystery lovers. Only the inimitable Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, could solve them with such chilling perfection. 媒体评论Two of Agatha Christie's most enduring--and endearing--sleuths star in this collection of mystery treats. Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple investigate cases of a country gentleman who is questioned about a murder not yet committed, a medium who is drawn closer to the world of the dead than she ever imagined, and a decorative doll in a London shop that adopts some rather human, and sinister, traits. 目录DOUBLE SIN WASPS`NEST THE THEFT OF THE ROYAL RUBY THE DRESSMAKER`S DOLL GREENSEAW`S FOLLY THE DOUBLE CLUE THE LAST SEANCE SANCTUARY |
