    About the book

    Agatha Christies seasonal Poirot and Marple short story collection, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.

    First came a sinister warning to Poirot not to eat any plum puddingĶ then the discovery of a corpse in a chestĶ next, an overheard quarrel that led to murderĶ the strange case of the dead man who altered his eating habitsĶ and the puzzle of the victim who dreamt his own suicide.

    What links these five baffling cases? The little grey cells of Monsieur Hercule Poirot!

    About the Author

    Agatha Christie

    Born in Torquay in 1890, Agatha Christie began writing during the First World War and wrote over 100 novels, plays and short story collections. She was still writing to great acclaim until her death, and her books have now sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. Yet Agatha Christie was always a very private person, and though Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple became household names, the Queen of Crime was a complete enigma to all but her closest friends.
