Agatha Christie 4 : les années 1934-1935

by Agatha Christie

Six romans ou recueils de nouvelles dans une nouvelle traduction intégrale.

Jamais Agatha Christie n'a été aussi prolifique qu'au cours de ces deux années 1934 et 1935. Non contente de produire plusieurs chefs-d’œuvre - Le Crime de I'Orient Express qui révolutionne les lois du genre, La Mort dans les nuages-, elle entame également la publication des romans signés Mary Westmacott, et s'engage résolument dans la voie du roman de détection.
Devenue écrivain professionnel à la réputation établie, elle privilégie désormais le personnage qui lui a apporté la gloire : c'est ainsi que débutent les "Années Poirot", au cours desquelles elle va consacrer l'essentiel de son œuvre au petit détective belge.

Contient :
- Mr Parker Pyne
- Le crime de l'Orient-Express
- Pourquoi pas Evans ?
- Le mystère de Listerdale
- Drame en trois actes
- La mort dans les nuages.
