Capital Christie: The new anthology of Agatha Christie’s best short stories set in London, featuring her best detectives including Poirot and Marple Hardcover – Special Edition

Murder, mystery, and majesty combine in this Special Edition hardback featuring the Queen of Crime's finest short stories set in London.

Agatha Christie, celebrated worldwide for her remarkable country house mysteries and ingenious murders in exotic locales, also drew inspiration from the city she knew best and called home for many years: London.

Her intimate knowledge of the city provided a rich backdrop for her tales of intrigue and suspense.
