Viac o knihe

This omnibus features all four stand-alone novels written in the 1920s: The Secret Adversary, The Man in the Brown Suit, The Secret of Chimneys, and its sequel, The Seven Dials Mystery. Agatha Christie’s imaginative crime novels and thrillers established her as a household name from the 1920s to the early 1970s. While she is best known for Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple, her prolific output included many works featuring a variety of amateur sleuths, professional detectives, and unwitting bystanders caught in unexpected situations. This collection presents her twenty stand-alone novels chronologically, offering a fascinating glimpse into a changing world through six decades of investigation. Recurring characters like Superintendent Battle, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, Colonel Johnny Race, and Ariadne Oliver appear alongside many unique characters from individual stories. The result is a remarkable selection of mystery writing that showcases Christie’s talent beyond her famous detectives, affirming her status as The Queen of Crime.
