The final POIROT omnibus, featuring the last four appearances of the detective’s side-kick, the sleuthing crime novelist Ariadne Oliver: Third Girl, Hallowe’en Party, Elephants Can Remember and The Pale Horse.
Poirot and Mrs Oliver continue their sleuthing in the 1960s in four uncharacteristically ‘modern’ novels with an added twist of danger...
Third Girl
Poirot finally admits he is growing old as a perplexed girl thinks she may have killed someone. Here Christie dragged Poirot into the swinging 60s and effectively squared him up against a world featuring sex, drugs and hippies.
Hallowe’en Party
A teenage murder witness is drowned in a tub of apples. This was only the second time Christie wrote about the death of a child, and is all the more engrossing for it.
Elephants Can Remember
An old husband and wife double murder has never been solved – until now. This was the very last Poirot story that Agatha Christie wrote, and garnered good reviews.
The Pale Horse
A priest’s death leads to sinister goings-on in an old country inn. This bonus novel featured Mrs Oliver for once without Poirot and was one of Christie’s darkest stories, blending witchcraft and murder.
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.
