Historia
A blinding snowstorm - and a homicidal maniac - traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Out of this deceptively simple setup, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which in turn would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history. From this classic title novella to the deliciously clever gems on its tail (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple), this rare collection of murder most foul showcases Christie at her inventive best.

Is it a gesture of goodwill or a sinister trap that lures Rupert St. Vincent and his family to a magnificent estate? How desperate is Joyce Lambert, a destitute young widow whose only recourse is to marry a man she despises? What unexpected circumstance stirs old loyalties in Theodora Darrell, an unfaithful wife about to run away with her lover?
In this collection of short stories, the answers are as unexpected as they are satisfying. The Queen of Mystery takes bizarre romantic entanglements, supernatural visitations, and classic murder to inventive new heights.

Colonel Protheroe, local magistrate and overbearing land-owner is the most detested man in the village. Everyone—even in the vicar—wishes he were dead. And very soon he is—shot in the head in the vicar's own study. Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the unmasking of the killer.

Resumen del Editor
A murder trial takes a diabolical turn when the wife of the accused takes the stand.... A woman's sixth sense - and a loaded revolver - signal premonitions of doom....

First appearing in print in 1890, the character of Sherlock Holmes has now become synonymous worldwide with the concept of a super sleuth. His creator, Conan Doyle, imbued his detective hero with intellectual power, acute observational abilities, a penchant for deductive reasoning and a highly educated use of forensic skills. Indeed, Doyle created the first fictional private detective who used what we now recognize as modern scientific investigative techniques.

Howards End is a beautifully subtle tale of two very different families brought together by an unusual event. The Schlegels are intellectuals, devotees of art and literature. The Wilcoxes are practical and materialistic, leading lives of "telegrams and anger". When the elder Mrs. Wilcox dies and her family discovers she has left their country home - Howards End - to one of the Schlegel sisters, a crisis between the two families is precipitated that takes years to resolve.

The preparations have been made, the guests have been invited, and the staff are on hand. What could possibly go wrong? Let the entertainment begin.

Historia
The sublime beauty of Hawaii nearly a century ago is captured in this first book featuring the fictional Honolulu police detective, Charlie Chan. Author Biggers was staying at a hotel on Waikiki Beach in the 1920s when he was inspired to write the book. The Chan role at first was relatively minor, and he didn’t say anything until several chapters had gone by. However, the concept caught on when the literary public wanted more of him. That prompted five subsequent books as the character became more prominent.

Christopher Lee is bewitching!! Breathtaking!
Hearing Christopher Lee narrate the first handful of stories was fascinating! It almost felt like listening to the work of a different author. I hung on to every word.
I love Hugh Fraser. But Lee brings an entirely different experience. Whereas Fraser is masterful, gifted, and indispensable - Christopher Lee elevates his narrations to an art. He has a knack for isolating and emphasizing a particular word or phrase to let it hang just momentarily, and viscerally, harrowing in the air. "Agatha Christie" becomes much darker, more chilling, more unfathomable in his hands.
Where Fraser has an astounding breadth of work under his belt, all with unfaltering masterful delivery, Christopher Lee mines each word tactilely, presenting each as a hefty, extracted gem, from somewhere dark and sinister, and cold. Thrilling, and fascinating!
There are many times when Christie's plot twists come off as too outlandish and unrealistic. Fraser brings dignity to these moments by salving over them smoothly. But Christopher Lee delves into these seemingly ridiculous plot twists with all of his resources, meeting them headlong, and seems to find in them and draw out something genuinely uncanny; mysterious.
In hearing Lee narrate, it almost feels like hearing, fleshed out, the author's own particular fascinations, which she felt compelled to set up and explore within her vast and varied contrivances.
