      Biography

      Agatha Christie is nearly synonymous with upper-class British mysteries, for good reason. She set the standard for the genre in over 60 novels and dozens of short stories, also creating two classic detectives: the fastidious Belgian, Hercule Poirot, and English spinster Jane Marple. No one could match Christie's knack for weaving clues into her stories, then turning the whole thing inside out -- shocking her readers every time.

      October 02, 2009: Murder is the crime here but who did it is the mystery that the eccentric and incomparable detective, Hercule Poirot, must solve.

      Met with a mise-en-scene murder at poolside with the victim surrounded by a gaggle of potential suspects, it seems that the brilliant Belgian slueth has an enormous enigma for his "little grey cells" to unravel.

      One of Christie's best and with a solution that you will kick yourself for not arriving at before the bewildered Poirot; my personal favorite of the Poirot series and I hope it will be yours too!

      I Also Recommend: One, Two, Buckle My Shoe (Hercule Poirot Series), The Mysterious Affair at Styles (Hercule Poirot Series), Death on the Nile (Hercule Poirot Series), Third Girl (Hercule Poirot Series), Murder on the Orient Express (Hercule Poirot Series).
