The Man in the Brown Suit - Agatha Christie [101]
Some are born to endless night
When penniless Michael Rogers discovered the beautiful house at Gypsy’s Acre and then meets the heiress Ellie, it seems that all his dreams have come true at once. But he ignores an old woman warning of an ancient curse, and evil begins to stir in paradise.
As Michael soon learns: Gypsy’s Acre is the place where fatal ‘accidents’ happen…
‘One of the best things Agatha Christie has ever done.’

The Secret Adversary
TOMMY & TUPPENCE
Agatha Christie
Tommy and Tuppence, two young people flat broke and out of work after the War, are restless for excitement. They embark on a daring business scheme–Young Adventurers Ltd–‘willing to do anything, go anywhere’.
But their first assignment, for the sinister Mr Whittington, draws them into a sinister, political conspiracy. Under the eye of the elusive, ruthless Mr Brown, they find themselves plunged into more danger than they ever imagined.
Agatha Christie’s first Tommy and Tuppence novel is a jazz-age thriller of international intrigue, murder and suspense.
‘Refreshingly original.’

About the Author
Agatha Christie is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English with another billion in 100 foreign countries. She is the most widely published author of all time and in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels written under the name of Mary Westmacott.
Agatha Christie’s first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was written towards the end of the First World War, in which she served as a VAD. In it she created Hercule Poirot, the little Belgian detective who was destined to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. It was eventually published by The Bodley Head in 1920.
In 1926, after averaging a book a year, Agatha Christie wrote her masterpiece. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was the first of her books to be published by Collins and marked the beginning of an author-publisher relationship which lasted for 50 years and well over 70 books. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was also the first of Agatha Christie’s books to be dramatised–under the name Alibi–and to have a successful run in London’s West End. The Mousetrap, her most famous play of all, opened in 1952 and is the longest-running play in history.
Agatha Christie was made a Dame in 1971. She died in 1976, since when a number of books have been published posthumously: the bestselling novel Sleeping Murder appeared later that year, followed by her autobiography and the short story collections Miss Marple’s Final Cases, Problem at Pollensa Bay and While the Light Lasts. In 1998 Black Coffee was the first of her plays to be novelised by another author, Charles Osborne.
