About this ebook

An elderly stroke victim dies without having arranged a will...

Beautiful young Elinor Carlisle stood serenely in the dock, accused of the murder of Mary Gerrard, her rival in love. The evidence was damning: only Elinor had the motive, the opportunity and the means to administer the fatal poison.

Yet, inside the hostile courtroom, only one man still presumed Elinor was innocent until proven guilty: Hercule Poirot was all that stood between Elinor and the gallows...

Ratings and reviews

Incompetent publisher. This ebook has only 11 pages – that cannot possibly be right, and it breaks many ebook readers including Google Play Books. (For presumably the same reason, the sample of the book shows only the title page.) Dear HarperCollinsUK: your book is broken, please get the tech right and fix this EPUB file so that there are correctly working page numbers.

Amazing.one of agatha christies best novels

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.
