H.R.F. Keating, a crime novelist and respected reviewer of crime fiction, has assembled a dozen distinguished writers from both sides of the Atlantic to throw light on this double mystery. Some ananyze Agatha Christie's art itself. Some explain the reasons for its success, not only in her own country but in America and all over the world, and not only in the field of the mystery novel but in those of the theater and film and even-another mystery-as the pseudonymous author of novels of love and life. Finally we have perhaps the fullest account of her life yet published in this country.
The approaches are various-penetrating, affectionate, enthusiastic, analytical, funny even critical. But all in their various ways make very much clearer what was the secret of a writer who perhaps gave more pleasure to more people than any other single contemporary.
Numerous illustrations highlight many fascinating aspects of Agatha Christie's privete and public life. (There are over 60 photographs.)

From: "The Agatha Christie Companion - The Complete Guide to Agatha Christie's Life and Work"
Given Agatha Christie's love for the theatre, it was only a matter of time before she tried her hand at stage writing. Eventually "Black Coffee" was pulled together and in 1930 opened in the West End and had a modest run. Poirot was protraid by Francis L. Sullivan.
Over a quarter of a century after her death, Christie remains the most popular mystery writer of all times. With the adaptation of "Black Coffee" by Charles Osborne, fans and newcomers alike were treated to another Christie novel. "Black Coffee" brings back the beloved detective Hercule Poirot to exercise his "little grey cells" one more deliciously deductive time...
The plot:
An urgent call from physicist Sir Claud Amory sends famed detective Hercule Poirot rushing from London to a sprawling country estate. Sir Claud fears a member of his own household wants to steal a secret formula destined for the Ministry of Defence. But Poirot arrives too late. The formula is missing. Worse, Sir Claud has been poisoned by his after-dinner coffee. Poirot soon identifies a potent brew of despair, treachery, and decetpion amid the mansion's occupants. Now he must find the formula and the killer...while letting no poison slip 'twix his own lips.

Meet prize winning reporter Jim Qwilleran and his extraordinary Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum-the most unlikely, most unusual, most delightful team in detective fiction!
As the Highland Games approach, Jim Qwilleran and the citizens of Pickax prepare to celebrate their Scottish herigage with such events as bagpipe skirling and tossing the caber.

His assistant is missing-and soon, the winner of the caber-tossing contest disappears as well. Qwill has a lot of mysteries to sort out-not the least of which is Koko's sudden interest in photographs, pennies, and paper towels...

The human race has become infertile, and the last generation to be born is now adult. Civilization itself is crumbling as suicide and despair become commonplace. Oxford historian Theodore Faron, apathitic toward a future without a future, spends most of his time reminiscing. Then he is approached by Julian, a bright attractive woman who wants him to help get her an audience with his cousin, the powerful Warden of England. She and her band of unlikely revolutionaries may just awaken his desire to live ... and they may also hold the key to survival of the human race.
"As scary and suspenseful as anything in Hitchcock."

From "The Agatha Christie Companion" - Berkley Books Copyright 1984 - Revised 1989
Among Christie's enormous wartime output was this charming volume of reminiscences about her travels in the Middle East during the 1930's. Readers will find another side of Christie emerging in these pages - a resilient, enthusiastic traveler whose obvious love of this ancient part of the world led her to put up with fleas, sandstorms, and Stone Age plumbing, during a decade of annual journeys to Syria and Iraq. Since these excursions were working expeditions for the Mallowans (Agatha "hired on" as a labeler and sketcher of unearthed artifacts), archeology figures porminently in the book. The title, in fact, is a pun on "tell," the Arabic word for hill or mound, which is used in the Middle East to describe the hill-like shapes of buried archaeoligical sites.
"A witty, chuckling book," said 'Books' (New York Herald Tribune) "Only a person with irrepressible bounce could have stood it all and turned up with such an entertaining book." (11/17/46)

In a pub called the Grave Maurice, Melrose Plant overhears the intriguing story of fifteen-year-old Nell Ryder, granddaughter of the owner of Ryder Stud Farm in Cambridgeshire, the heart of Britain's racing world. The girl was abducted nearly two years before and has never been heard from since. The tale is especially fascinating to Melrose Plant because the girl's father is Richard Jury's surgeon. Recuperating from gunshot wounds, Jury is in dire need of something to occupy his time, even if the case is as cold as a case can get...until another murder heats it up again.

The the Snopes family - shrewd, grasping, energetic, inexorable - is one of William Falkner's most notable fiction creations, a symbol of one element of the post-bellum South and, indeed, of modern America. "The Hamlet", his twelfth novel, tells of Flem Snopes' beginnings in Yoknapatawpha County: how he establishes himself on the land, consumes a small village and invades the town of Jefferson.
"The Hamlet" is Falkner at his best. It is subtle and yet direct, brilliantly evocative of a decaying South after the Civil War. In this book he is unsurpassable."
