Poirot has had near-permanent presence in the public eye ever since the 1920 publication of "The Mysterious Affair at Styles". From character development, publication history and private discussion concerning the original stories themselves, to early forays on to the stage and screen, the story of Poirot is as fascinating as it is enduring. Based on the author's original research, review excerpts and original Agatha Christie correspondence, "Poirot: The Greatest Detective in the World" is a lively and accessible history of the character, offering new information and helpful pieces of context, that will delight all Agatha Christie fans. |
