754 56b272b1-198d-47e6-8214-e14a45dee46d Double Sin and Other Stories Agatha Christie calibre (2.82.0) [https://calibre-ebook.com] 1925-01-01T06:00:00+00:00 <div><p>The Queen of Mystery has come to Harper Collins! Agatha Christie, the acknowledged mistress of suspense—creator of indomitable sleuth Miss Marple, meticulous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, and so many other unforgettable characters—brings her entire oeuvre of ingenious whodunits, locked room mysteries, and perplexing puzzles to William Morrow Paperbacks. Marple and Poirot both make appearances in Christie’s <em>Double Sin and Other Stories</em>, a sterling collection of short mystery fiction that offers double the suspense, surprise, and fun.<br></p><h3>Review</h3><p>“Time and again Agatha Christie pulled off what many obviously greater writers labored for in vain, a work of art which is both perfectly crafted and morally satisfying.” (A. N. Wilson) </p><h3>From the Back Cover</h3><p>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. . . . While 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 last word, <em>sanctuary</em>, becomes both an elegy and a clue to a crime.</p><p>Only the Queen of Mystery could have conceived such delicious treats for suspense lovers. Only the inimitable Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple could solve them with such chilling perfection.</p></div> HarperCollins 0062074415 0062074415 Bs70ygAACAAJ 0062074415 B008HS305E 13622130 w/double-sin-and-other-stories-agatha-christie/1100259206 eng Mystery Classics Fiction / Mystery & Detective
