Salapärane U. N. Owen meelitab kümme inimest, keda pealtnäha miski omavahel ei seo, Devoni rannajoone lähedale Sõdurisaarele. Ohtusöögi ajal hakkab mängima salvestis, milles nähtamatu majaperemehe hääl süüdistab külalisi ränkades kuritegudes. Samal õhtul leitakse üks külalistest, hooletu autojuht Tony Marston, surnult. Pinge kasvab sedamööda, kuidas külalised mõistavad, et mõrvar viibib nende seas ning kavatseb tappa üha uuesti ja uuesti." Ja ei jäänud teda ka" on Agatha Christie suurima müügieduga teos ja läbi aegade üks populaarsemaid kriminaalromaane üldse. Raamat on tõlgitud enam kui 50 keelde. Muuhulgas on see ka Christie enim adapteeritud teos: romaani süzhee põhjal on tehtud teatrilavastusi, filme, telesarju, kuuldemänge ja see on olnud aluseks isegi arvutimängudele.

Haarav romaan enesesse vaatamisest ja oma elu ümberhindamisest. Agatha Christie sai tuntuks eelkõige oma geniaalsete krimiromaanide ja -näidenditega. Vähem teatakse, et Mary Westmacotti nime all on ta kirjutanud ka kuus väga isiklikku ja paeluvat armastusromaani. Joan Scudamore pöördub tagasi Inglismaale Iraagist, kus ta käis külas oma äsja emaks saanud nooremal tütrel. Reisi ajal on Joan sunnitud üleujutuse tõttu viibima mitu päeva ühes üksildases kõrbevõõrastemajas, kuna raudteeliiklus on katkenud. Tal ei ole teha muud kui oma mõtetesse süüvida. Ootamatu üksindusperiood sunnib Joani esmakordselt hindama oma senist elu ja seisma silmitsi tundmatu iseendaga. Uurides oma suhteid laste ja abikaasaga, muutub Joan aina rahutumaks, sest talle hakkavad paljastuma nii teistmoodi mina kui ka hoopis teistsugused inimsuhted. Oma käitumist analüüsides hakkab Joan järk-järgult aimama, et kogu tema elu võib olla samasugune miraazh, mida ta äsja kõrbes koges. Kuidas aga selle uue teadmisega edasi elada?

Agatha Christie on tuntud eelkõige oma geniaalsete krimiromaanide ja -näidenditega. Vähem teatakse, et Mary Westmacotti varjunime all kirjutas ta ka kuus väga isiklikku ja paeluvat armastusromaani. Ilmajäämine kolmest kõige kallimast inimesest - emast, kes suri, abikaasast, kes nõudis lahutust, ja tütrest, kellega ta ei leidnud ühist keelt - viib Celia enesetapu äärele. Ta sõidab eksootilisele saarele, kus plaanib endalt elu võtta. Seal satub ta juhuslikult kokku tunnustatud portreemaalija Larrabyga. Terve öö väldanud vestluses koorub välja, mis Celiat elu juures enim hirmutab - ta ei julge end kellegagi uuesti siduda, sest kardab nii kohutavalt jälle kõigest ilma jääda. Ja samas ei leia ta endas jõudu sellekski, et elule üksinda vastu astuda. Kas Larraby suudab keelitada Celiat oma minevikuga leppima või on naise saatus mehest lahkudes endiselt ebakindel?" Celias aimub enam kui kusagil mujal portree Agathast endast." - Max Mallowan, Agatha Christie teine abikaasa

The Murder on the Links is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie, first published in the US by Dodd, Mead & Co in March 1923 and, in the same year, in the UK by The Bodley Head in May. It features Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings. The story takes place in northern France, giving Poirot a hostile competitor from the Paris S ret . Poirot's long memory for past or similar crimes proves useful in resolving the crimes. The book is notable for a subplot in which Hastings falls in love, a development "greatly desired on Agatha's part... parcelling off Hastings to wedded bliss in the Argentine." Reviews when it was published compared Mrs Christie favourably to Arthur Conan Doyle in his Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Remarking on Poirot, still a new character, one reviewer said he was "a pleasant contrast to most of his lurid competitors; and one even suspects a touch of satire in him." (wikipedia.org)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles is a detective novel by British writer Agatha Christie. It was written in the middle of the First World War, in 1916, and first published by John Lane in the United States in October 1920 and in the United Kingdom by The Bodley Head (John Lane's UK company) on 21 January 1921. Styles was Christie's first published novel. It introduced Hercule Poirot, Inspector (later, Chief Inspector) Japp, and Arthur Hastings. Poirot, a Belgian refugee of the Great War, is settling in England near the home of Emily Inglethorp, who helped him to his new life. His friend Hastings arrives as a guest at her home. When the woman is killed, Poirot uses his detective skills to solve the mystery. The book includes maps of the house, the murder scene, and a drawing of a fragment of a will. The true first publication of the novel was as a weekly serial in The Times, including the maps of the house and other illustrations included in the book. This novel was one of the first ten books published by Penguin Books when it began in 1935. This first mystery novel by Agatha Christie was well received by reviewers. An analysis in 1990 was positive about the plot, considered the novel one of the few by Christie that is well-anchored in time and place, a story that knows it describes the end of an era, and mentions that the plot is clever. Christie had not mastered cleverness in her first novel, as "too many clues tend to cancel each other out"; this was judged a difficulty "which Conan Doyle never satisfactorily overcame, but which Christie would." (wikipedia.org)

The Man in the Brown Suit is a work of detective fiction by British writer Agatha Christie, first published in the UK by The Bodley Head on 22 August 1924 and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company later in the same year. Anne Beddingfeld is on her own and ready for adventures when one comes her way. She sees a man die in a tube station and picks up a piece of paper dropped nearby. The message on the paper leads her to South Africa as she fits more pieces of the puzzle together about the death she witnessed. There is a murder in England the next day, and the murderer attempts to kill her on the ship en route to Cape Town. Reviews were mixed at publication, as some hoped for another book featuring Poirot, while others liked the writing style and were sure that readers would want to read to the end to learn who is the murderer. A later review liked the start of the novel, and felt that the end did not keep pace with the quality of the start, and the reviewer did not like when the story became like a thriller novel.
