Publisher Description

TWO BESTSELLING MYSTERIES IN ONE GREAT PACKAGE! 

CROOKED HOUSE

“Writing Crooked House was pure pleasure and I feel justified in my belief that it is one of my best.” --Agatha Christie

Described by the queen of mystery herself as one of her favorites of her published work, Crooked House is a classic Agatha Christie thriller revolving around a devastating family mystery.

The Leonides are one big happy family living in a sprawling, ramshackle mansion. That is until the head of the household, Aristide, is murdered with a fatal barbiturate injection.

Suspicion naturally falls on the old man’s young widow, fifty years his junior. But the murderer has reckoned without the tenacity of Charles Hayward, fiancé of the late millionaire’s granddaughter.

ENDLESS NIGHT

One of Agatha Christie’s personal favorites, Endless Night is a critically acclaimed classic crime thriller from the beloved queen of mystery.

When penniless Michael Rogers discovers the beautiful house at Gypsy’s Acre and then meets the heiress Ellie, it seems that all his dreams have come true at once. But he ignores an old woman’s warning of an ancient curse, and evil begins to stir in paradise. As Michael soon learns: Gypsy’s Acre is the place where fatal “accidents” happen.

“Endless Night, [is] quite different in tone from her usual work. It is impossible to say much about the story without giving away vital secrets: sufficient to warn the reader that if he should think this is a romance he couldn’t be more mistaken, and the crashing, not to say horrific suspense at the end is perhaps the most devastating that this surpriseful author has ever brought off.” 

— Guardian (London) on Endless Night 

Quotes

  • “Her forty-ninth book and one of her best seven. Poisoning of aged iniquitous anglicized Levantine millionaire. Nicely characterized family of suspects. Delicious red herrings. Infinite suspense and [a] shocking surprise finish.”

    — Observer (London) on Crooked House
  • “Chief Inspector Taverner of Scotland Yard was as brilliant as usual but barking up the wrong tree—as Agatha Christie demonstrates in a surprise ending which introduces a novel idea in murder mystery.” 

    —  Toronto Daily Star on Crooked House
  • “It really is bold of Agatha Christie to write in the persona of a working-class boy who marries a poor little rich girl, but in a pleasantly gothic story of gypsy warnings she brings it all off, together with a nicely melodramatic final twist.” 

    — Times Literary Supplement on Endless Night
