Are you interested in detective novels?If you are, thenIhave to introduce a writer who has earned the title as the Queen of Crime(侦探推理小说女王)—Agatha Christie阿加莎·克里斯蒂（1890-1976). Her books have been sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in forty-four foreign languages, outsold only by the Bible andShakespeare’s works.There are some other magnificent novels also by Agatha Christie:And Then There Were None《无人生还》,Death On theNile《尼罗河上的惨案》, Endless Night《长夜》.

Agatha Christie is very good at detective novels, but in this book, she emphasizes in describing political struggle, science and scheme.It’s quite a different style for Christie, but itisstill worth reading.Andthe book can also show you the reason why Christie can be titled the Queen of Crime.

Book reviews:

"At moments one wonders whether the old dear knows the difference between ahippieand askinheadbut she is still marvelously entertaining. I shall expect her to turn permissive for her eighty-firster.

—Maurice Richardson inThe Observer

这本书字里行间都是阿加莎的影子和对世界的理解——年轻人的疯狂与幼稚，老年人的不甘与念旧，中年人的自嘲与自满，最后一刻被识破的杀人犯…… 以及她总是不忘涉及的——爱情。 ——读者心声
