Agatha Christie A Murder is Announced Vintage Book Crime Club Facsimile BCA 2006

Classic vintage crime fiction by Agatha Christie.

“Every Friday morning to practically every house in the village of Chipping Cleghorn, a copy of the 'North Benham News and Chipping Cleghorn Gazette', was delivered by Johnny Butt from Mt Totman - stationer of the High Street.

On Friday October 29t, in the personal column among the articles for sale or wanted and the frenzied appeals for domestic help, was the following singular announcement: ‘A Murder Is Announced and will take place on Friday October 29th at little Paddocks at 6:30 p.m. friends please accept this the only intimation’.

A joke of course probably perpetrated by Miss Blacklock's nephew Patrick; but nevertheless nothing would have deterred anyone who had the slightest excuse from calling on the owner of Little Paddocks at the appointed time.

Agatha Christie is the author of 'A Murder is Announced'.

Known as 'The Queen of Crime' Agatha was a prolific writer of murder mysteries. Somewhat formulaic by today's crime novel standards she was famed for her 'locked room' denouements. The murderer is usually outed in the last few pages of the novel, in front of the other suspects to much surprise and dramatic affect.

Her novels remain much loved and have a keen following today spawning multiple TV and Film Adaptations.
