Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

"[We] can't get enough of Christie's plush and murderous thrills." --Entertainment Weekly

From the Queen of Mystery--this all-new collection of stories about love gone horribly wrong will get your heart racing.

Love can propel us to our greatest heights . . . and darkest depths. In this new compendium of Agatha Christie short stories, witness the dark side of love--crimes of passion, games of the heart, and deadly deceits. This pulse-pounding compendium features beloved detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, master of charades Parker Pyne, the enigmatic Harley Quin, and the adventurous Tommy and Tuppence, all at the ready to solve tantalizing mysteries.

In "The Face of Helen," a night at the Royal Opera could reach a fatal crescendo for a woman caught in a dicey love triangle; "Finessing the King" delivers a curious ad in the personals that could mask sinister intentions; who's in danger of getting stung in "Wasps' Nest" depends on rounding up suspects and solving a murder--before it even happens. These are just a few of the tales in this collection featuring essential reading that Christie fans old and new will simply love to death.
