Nemesis is Agatha Christie's gripping 1971 mystery novel in which the beloved amateur sleuth receives a posthumous letter from the eccentric millionaire Mr. Rafiel, charging her with the investigation of an unspecified crime — a task she must fulfil without knowing the victim, the culprit, or even the nature of the wrongdoing itself. The trail leads her on a guided coach tour through the English countryside, where a decades-old murder and the fate of a young woman named Verity Hunt slowly rise to the surface.\n\nChristie, the undisputed Queen of Crime, demonstrates here her masterful command of suspense and misdirection, weaving a narrative that rewards patient, attentive reading. Nemesis stands as a testament to her extraordinary ability to construct airtight plots within the cosy, seemingly tranquil world of English village life — a world where danger lurks beneath every polite smile. This late-career work, one of Miss Marple's final outings, carries a quiet but devastating emotional weight that will linger long after the last page is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342775230683,"sku":"2026200016180-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a136e7d1-fb51-41fa-871a-6b024e30a60f.png?v=1790049171","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016180-secondhand-nemesis","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
