Agatha Christie's 'most absorbing mystery' - her own autobiography.Over the three decades since her death on 12 January 1976, many of Agatha Christie's readers and reviewers have maintained that her most compelling book is probably still her least well-known. Her candid Autobiography, written mainly in the 1960s, modestly ignores the fact that Agatha had become the best-selling novelist in history and concentrates on her fascinating private life. From early childhood at the end of the 19th century, through two marriages and two World Wars, and her experiences both as a writer and on archaeological expeditions with her second husband, Max Mallowan, Agatha shares the details of her varied and sometimes complex life with real passion and openness.

Novellix - Stor litteratur i et lille formatDen britiske kriminalforfatter Agatha Christie betog gennem en mere end fem årtier lang karriere et verdensomspændende publikum, der hungrede efter hendes gåder.

Fire spændende mysterier – med overraskende løsninger.Æsken indeholder fire bøger:Den tilslørede dameMålebåndsmordetDet ubrydelige alibiAnklagerens vidne

Alt starter godt for de nygifte – men det viser sig hurtigt, at idyllen er starten på et sandt mareridt for dem. Dette er en usædvanlig roman fra den store forfatterinde Agatha Christie, da den hører til i gysergenren snarere end i kriminalgenren, som hun blev så kendt for.

Rosenkilde & Bahnhof nyudgiveer Agathe Christies. Bøgerne er sprogligt reviderede. Den kendte detektiv Hercule Poirot får i sidste øjeblik en ledig plads i Istanbul-Calais-vognen på det berømte tog Orientekspressen. Toget sidder fast i en snedrive i Jugoslavien, og en passager bliver myrdet. Hvad er der sket? Gerningsstedet er totalt isoleret fra omverdenen og uden adgang fra de andre vogne i toget, så det må være en af de tolv passagerer, der har begået mordet. Mange af dem har et motiv til at dræbe Ratchett, som viser sig ikke at have rent mel i posen. Poirot burde som ”øjenvidne” have et forspring i opklaringen af drabet. Men i passagerernes bagage viser der sig at være mange indicier, der peger i forskellige retninger, ligesom der foregår en hel del mystiske hændelser.
