Tuesday Club Murders
Follow the ingenious mysteries of the ‘Tuesday Night Club’ with this hardback special edition of Agatha Christie’s complete Miss Marple short stories.
'I think that Miss Marple is at her best in the solving of short problems; they suit her more intimate style.' AGATHA CHRISTIE
Two years before The Murder at the Vicarage, Agatha Christie introduced the world to a new group of amateur sleuths: a policeman, a vicar, a solicitor, an author, an artist – and an unassuming lady with a shrewd gaze.
As one of the Tuesday Night Club, Miss Marple was called upon to solve stories of murder and intrigue, crimes so complicated that they had confounded even Scotland Yard.
This revised edition of The Tuesday Club Murders and Other Stories reprints all 13 'problems' from that first book, plus all the subsequent Marple stories written by Agatha Christie – an irresistible omnibus featuring St Mary Mead's sharpest mind and everyone's favourite armchair detective.
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.
