Secondhand Crime Fiction Bargain Book Box SP2907

The Queen of Crime meets the courtroom's greatest lawyer — thirteen Agatha Christie novels in vintage Fontana, Pan, and Christie Collection editions alongside eight Perry Mason mysteries from Erle Stanley Gardner. A box for the classic mystery reader who knows exactly what they want.

1. Mrs McGinty's Dead — Agatha Christie — Poirot investigates the murder of a charwoman, with the layers of misdirection only Christie could sustain across a full novel.
2. The Pale Horse — Agatha Christie — a list of names, a trio of witches, and a murder method so audacious it was later used in a real poisoning case.
3. A Caribbean Mystery — Agatha Christie — Miss Marple on holiday; a boring old man is about to show her a photograph when he changes his mind. Within hours he is dead.
4. Hickory Dickory Dock — Agatha Christie — thefts at a student hostel lead Poirot to a far darker mystery, in one of her more unusual and atmospheric settings.
5. One, Two, Buckle My Shoe — Agatha Christie — a visit to the dentist, two deaths, and a conspiracy that reaches to the very top.
6. Death Comes as the End — Agatha Christie — her most unusual novel, set in ancient Egypt and based on real archaeological sources.
7. Why Didn't They Ask Evans? — Agatha Christie — a dying man on a golf course, a mysterious photograph, and two amateurs who refuse to let it rest. One of her finest.
8. The Secret of Chimneys — Agatha Christie — a lighthearted adventure thriller: a country house, a missing manuscript, international intrigue, and a diamond necklace.
9. Partners in Crime — Agatha Christie — Tommy and Tuppence Beresford run a detective agency and parody every famous fictional detective, in one of Christie's most purely entertaining books.
10. Funerals Are Fatal — Agatha Christie — Poirot investigates a wealthy man whose funeral prompts one imprudent remark — and then another murder.
11. Thirteen at Dinner — Agatha Christie — Poirot meets a famous actress who looks exactly like a woman who couldn't possibly be present. Lord Edgware's murder follows.
12. Lord Edgware Dies — Agatha Christie — a Poirot classic of misdirection, identity, and an alibi that only the little grey cells can unpick.
13. The A B C Murders — Agatha Christie — a serial killer challenges Poirot by letter and delivers on his promise, alphabetically. One of her most brilliantly plotted novels.
14. The Case of the Nervous Accomplice — Erle Stanley Gardner — Perry Mason defends a client whose alibi looks worse the more it is examined.
15. The Case of the Queenly Contestant — Erle Stanley Gardner — Perry Mason and Della Street take on a case involving a beauty queen and a blackmail scheme.
16. The Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe — Erle Stanley Gardner — a shoplifter, a missing diamond, and a client who knows considerably more than she is saying.
17. The Case of the Sulky Girl — Erle Stanley Gardner — a young woman's inheritance hinges on a marriage her uncle has forbidden. Then the uncle is found dead.
18. The Case of the Troubled Trustee — Erle Stanley Gardner — Perry Mason uncovers deception at the heart of a trust estate.
19. The Case of the Green-Eyed Sister — Erle Stanley Gardner — inheritance, jealousy, and the kind of client who always leaves out the most important detail.
20. The Case of the Long-Legged Models — Erle Stanley Gardner — the world of fashion modelling is considerably more dangerous than it looks when Perry Mason takes the case.
21. The Case of the Reluctant Model — Erle Stanley Gardner — a model who doesn't want to be found leads Perry Mason to a case with far higher stakes than he was told.
