About the Author

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first tast of Agatha Christie and I havn't looked back since, 16 Aug 2009
By David - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Dead Man's Folly (Poirot) (Paperback)
Dead Man's Folly was the first Agatha Christe book I read and I havn't look back since. The basic plot without spoilers has Poirot contacted by his old friend Ariadne Oliver, who has been asked to organise a "murder Hunt" at a country mansion. She has a feeling that things are not quite right and it's not long before she is proved right.

The book is typical Agatha Christie ie murder at a country house who an interesting assortment of characters. Poirot is on form too picking out the clues and until all is revealed. The book moves at a nice pace with no foul language are graphic gore or sex which makes a nice change from alot of modern books.

As I said before this is the first Christie book and it's one of my favourites. If you enjoy a classic whodunit from the "Queen of Crime" then this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning book from Dame Christie, 16 July 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Dead Man's Folly (Mass Market Paperback)
Oh, man, I was impressed by this one! I was completely giving up on Agatha Christie until I ordered this from Amazon and I was just blown away!! I thought I might of had a fix on the killer but she turned me around completely at the end!

I recommend this HIGHLY. You will love this if you like mysteries and even if you don't you will love it,too. There was so much suspense--this is just a work of genius!!!!!!!
