Best of Poirot:The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Murder on the Orient Expre بقلم Agatha Christi ... Description The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew that the woman he loved had poisoned her brutal first husband. He suspected also that someone had been blackmailing her. Now, tragically, came the news that she had taken her own life with a drug overdose. The ABC Murders here is a serial killer on the loose, bent on working his way through the alphabet. And as a macabre calling card he leaves beside each victims corpes the ABC Railway Guide open at the name of the town where the murder has taken place. Evil Under The Sun It was not unusual to find the beautiful bronzed body of the sun-loving Arlena Stuart stretched out on a beach, face down. Only, on this occasion, there was no sun she had been strangled. Ever since Arlenas arrival at the resort, Hercule Poirot had detected sexual tension in the seaside air. But could this apparent crime of passion have been something more evil and premeditated altogether The Murder On The Orient Express Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Five Little Pigs Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, yet there were five other suspects: Philip Blake (the stockbroker) who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist) who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcee) who had roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess) who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister) who cried wee wee wee all the way home.

Agatha Christi Agatha Christi

تعد أعظم مؤلفة روايات بوليسية في التاريخ حيث بيعت أكثر من مليار نسخة من رواياتها التي ترجمت لأكثر من 103 لغات. حيث تربعت أجاثا كريستي على عرش الرواية البوليسية الإنكليزية طوال نصف قرن دون مزاحمة، ولعل دراسة الناقدة البريطانية (جوليان سيمونز) عن أدب الجريمة وتقنيات الرواية البوليسية التي صدرت بعدة طبعات منذ عام 1985، لعلّ تلك الدراسة تمنح أجاثا كريستي المكانة التي حققتها في ميدان أدب الجريمة على صعيد عالمي، وقارئ كريستي بالإنكليزية يلحظ دون أدنى شك أنها استخدمت لغة وسطى سلسة وسياله، أنها لم تكتب بلغة (شكسبيرية) عالية رغم أنها ارتقت بأعمالها عن مستوى الإنكليزية المتداولة أعني لغة المحادثة اليومية ولعل هذا يفسر رواج قصصها ورواياتها لدى الأوساط الشعبية في بريطانيا وأوروبا وما وراء البحار، كما يفسر سهولة ترجمتها إلى مختلف لغات العالم.‏
