More Description"Every murderer is probably somebody's old friend," observed Poirot philosophically. "You cannot mix up sentiment and reason." For nearly a century, the name Agatha Christie has become synonymous with the mystery genre. Here, in her first novel, she demonstrates her uncanny ability to keep her readers guessing until the final pages. Set in an English country home at Styles Court, she introduces the extraordinary Hercule Poirot, whose immense popularity would find him reappearing in thirty-three novels and fifty-four short stories. Despite the fact that this was her debut novel, she exhibits all the skill and cunning of a seasoned master. This edition includes all of the original illustrations. A must read for all mystery book lovers.
