Agatha Christie is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English with another billion in 100 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time and in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels written under the name of Mary Westmacott.
Agatha Christie's first novel, The Mystery Affair of Styles, was written towards the end of the First World War, in which she served as a VAD. In it she created Hercule Poirot, the little Belgian detective who was destined to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. It was eventually published by The Bodley Head in 1920.
In 1926, after averaging a book a year, Agatha Christie wrote her masterpiece. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was the first of her books to be published by Collins and marked the beginning of an author-publisher relationship which lasted for 50 years and well over 70 books. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was also the first of Agatha Christie's books to be dramatised - under the name Alibi - and to have a successful run in London's West End. The Mousetrap, her most famous play of all, opened in 1952 and is the longest-running play in history.
Agatha Christie was made a Dame in 1971. She died in 1976, since when a number of books have been published posthumously: the bestselling novel Sleeping Murder appeared later that year, followed by her autobiography and the short story collection Miss Marple's Final Cases, Problem at Pollensa Bay and While the Light Lasts. In 1998 Black Coffee was the first of her plays to be novelised by another author, Charles Osborne.
(from the first pages of Agatha Christie's paperbacks published by HarperCollins)
From Seat No.9, Hercule Poirot was ideally placed to observe his fellow air passengers. Over to his right sat a pretty young woman, clearly infatuated with the man opposite; ahead in seat No.13, sat a Countess with a poorly-concealed cocaine habit; across the gangway in seat No.8, a detective writer was being troubled by an aggressive wasp.
What Poirot did not yet realize was that behind him, in seat No.2, sat the slumped, lifeless body of a woman...
'It will be a very acute reader who does not receive a complete surprise at the end.'

《云中命案》再一次验证了波洛“任何人都不可相信”的理论。犯案的手法上,很是巧妙,故弄玄虚摆下迷魂阵,结果却是如此啊…… 假如这起密闭空间里的谋杀案是自杀和他杀相结合的话,会怎么样呢? 凶手在一个咖啡杯里放上第二个咖啡勺,这点很是失策。 65页上“苏格兰庄园”...
評分难得的好天气 在公园长椅上坐了一下午读完了这本…我大概读到五分之四都很喜欢的一对cp被BE了…生活无常啊????不过我们的主人公真的是个很独立很有个性很棒的女孩子啊… 读之前看这本书的评价一直一般…读的过程中确实能看到不少之前的作品的影子…可能不会有那么多的新鲜感和...
評分作者阿加莎·克里斯蒂被誉为侦探推理小说女王,此书是我阅读阿加莎·克里斯蒂的第一部作品,看完之后觉得作者不负盛名。 放债人吉赛尔夫人即玛丽·莫里索死于航行的飞机上,凶手只能是后舱里十一名乘客和两名乘务员当中,死因可能是箭毒,凶器可能是吹风管之类的。 我猜过...
評分《云中命案》--- 7分。一架空中飞行的飞机,机舱除去死者还有11个乘客和2个乘务员,而凶手就在其中,波洛也在其中。需要做的就是逐个分析每个人与死者的关系以及自身的背景资料来找到凶手。这种交通工具上的密闭杀人案是阿婆喜欢且擅长的,《东方快车谋杀案》、《尼罗河上的惨...
評分精彩! 真正的突破口就在于利益,最大的得利者就是最大的嫌疑人。追寻最大的得利者,真是件伤脑筋的事情。。。 ps:我始终觉得飞机上的黄蜂其实可以不用出现- - 验尸官一检验应该就能知道是注射的合成毒药还是单纯的黄蜂毒吧- - 白白要折腾个不引人注意的容器来装活生生的黄蜂...
阿婆又成功把我繞進去瞭,波洛的媒婆屬性也還是沒變
评分讀英文真心慢,速度大概隻有中文的五分之一。。如果說阿婆的小說裏有兩個男士都對一位女士感興趣,那麼這兩人之一便很有可能是凶手。。總之,阿婆絕對不會讓這位年輕的小姐孤單的。。
评分MR Poirot is so kind and humorous.Jean Grey is a very charming character.Everyone ends with the happiness except the murderer.If you suffer a wrong marriage or meet the Mr wrong ,just to be brave and step out.Everything will be ok.That is what I learn from Jean and Cicely.
评分Poirot真是特彆善良的一個人,啊我真是不行瞭!敬愛的Poirot!
评分個人覺得作案手法上有bug(凶手在飛機上變裝那裏),其餘中規中矩。原來那個時候的飛機是那樣的,不過印象最深的還是波洛又牽紅綫瞭~
