Description
From the first publication of a Poirot book in 1920 to the film release of Death on the Nile, this investigation celebrates a century of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, probably the world's favourite fictional detective. It tells his story decade by decade, exploring his appearances in the original novels, short stories and plays, as well as on stage, screen and radio. The book examines Poirot's character development, publication history and the private discussions surrounding the original stories, alongside his early appearances in theatre and film. Based on original research, review excerpts and Agatha Christie's correspondence, it offers a lively and accessible history of the character, with new information and useful context for Agatha Christie fans, from a new generation of readers to those already familiar with the canon.
