From Seat No.9, Hercule Poirot was ideally placed to observe his fellow air passengers. Over to his right sat a pretty young woman, clearly infatuated with the man opposite; ahead in seat No.13, sat a Countess with a poorly-concealed cocaine habit; across the gangway in seat No.8, a detective writer was being troubled by an aggressive wasp.
What Poirot did not yet realize was that behind him, in seat No.2, sat the slumped, lifeless body of a woman...
'It will be a very acute reader who does not receive a complete surprise at the end.'
--Times Literary Supplement
Agatha Christie is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English with another billion in 100 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time and in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels written under the name of Mary Westmacott.
Agatha Christie's first novel, The Mystery Affair of Styles, was written towards the end of the First World War, in which she served as a VAD. In it she created Hercule Poirot, the little Belgian detective who was destined to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. It was eventually published by The Bodley Head in 1920.
In 1926, after averaging a book a year, Agatha Christie wrote her masterpiece. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was the first of her books to be published by Collins and marked the beginning of an author-publisher relationship which lasted for 50 years and well over 70 books. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was also the first of Agatha Christie's books to be dramatised - under the name Alibi - and to have a successful run in London's West End. The Mousetrap, her most famous play of all, opened in 1952 and is the longest-running play in history.
Agatha Christie was made a Dame in 1971. She died in 1976, since when a number of books have been published posthumously: the bestselling novel Sleeping Murder appeared later that year, followed by her autobiography and the short story collection Miss Marple's Final Cases, Problem at Pollensa Bay and While the Light Lasts. In 1998 Black Coffee was the first of her plays to be novelised by another author, Charles Osborne.

评分Poirot真是特别善良的一个人,啊我真是不行了!敬爱的Poirot!
评分能猜到杀手,猜不到手法。yes, we tend to ignore people in uniform...and this is not a spoiler, i promise.
评分阿婆又成功把我绕进去了,波洛的媒婆属性也还是没变
评分不是很难读懂,不过我不知道究竟是我词汇量进步了?还是真的这本书比较容易读?
这是阿婆的第29本书(1935年),这一年阿婆45岁。还有56本41年。 也是波洛侦探的第21个案子。 三颗星的评价是作为我给阿婆作品的最低评价,也就是实在没什么东西可以看的时候可以拿来翻翻。 案情本身并没有吸引人的地方,最关键的是因为推理部分,其实并没有给读者什么空间。在...
评分波洛的案子,兇手比較倒霉,在飛機上遇到了這個大名鼎鼎的偵探。很多類似的故事都是偵探在偶然情況下捲入了命案。所以說不僅僅是毛利小五郎,所有的偵探都是死神的說。
评分 评分阿婆很高明的一点就是在一开始就将最有误导性的线索堂而皇之地给出,并在之后的二十多章内一直不去触碰这条线,以令所有读者都认为这就是真相(有轻微剧透的关键词:maid,Madeleines),并且这条线也在全书将要结束时以令人瞠目结舌的方式展开并迅速结束。这种剧情的巨变...
