القاتل الغامض

by Agatha Christie

روايات بوليسية مشوقة نبتت من أرض الواقع، وتمت تفاصيلها في رحاب خيال اجاثا كريستي التي تقنع من خلال أجواء رواياتها بأنها لا بد أنها كانت تعمل مخبرة بوليسية. فالأحداث المتدافعة التي تسبق أحياناً الجريمة، أو تلك التي تواكبها والتحقيقات التي تجري، والتكهنات التي تفترض والأجواء التي يعيشها القارئ بكل مشاعره المشحونة بالغموض، كلها تشترك مجتمعة في بناء كيان روائي ذا نكهة بوليسية، احتل حيزاً كبيراً في عالم هذه الرواية، التي كانت اجاثا كريستي أهمّ روادها.

Another one of my favorites but I have heard the accursed claim that it doesn't belong to Agatha, can anyone verify or post the original name?


Now I know which one this is:To Catch a Thief (Handi Book Mystery, # 26) by Craig Rice A.K.A. Daphne Sanders
