Sinossi

The "AGATHA CHRISTIE Premium Collection" offers a meticulously curated anthology of some of Agatha Christie's most celebrated works, showcasing her unparalleled ability to weave intricate plots filled with suspense and intrigue. With a distinctive literary style characterized by its sharp dialogue and masterfully constructed narratives, the collection spans both her famous Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries, each reflecting the evolving societal concerns of the early to mid-20th century. Readers are invited to immerse themselves in the psychological depth and clever misdirection that have solidified Christie's status as the queen of crime fiction. Agatha Christie, born in 1890, was influenced by her experiences in diverse settings, from her time in Victorian-era England to her travels across the Middle East. Her keen observations of human nature, combined with a fascination for puzzles and the complexity of moral choices, shaped her writing. This collection brings together the best of her genius, illuminating her capacity to articulate the darker facets of human ambition and deception. I highly recommend the "AGATHA CHRISTIE Premium Collection" to both seasoned fans and new readers alike, as it not only exemplifies Christie's legacy in detective fiction but also offers a lens into the societal intricacies of her time, ensuring an engaging and thought-provoking reading experience.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    "The Unnamable" is a horror short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in September 1923, first published in the July 1925 issue of Weird Tales, and first collected in Beyond the Wall of Sleep in 1943. 
    Carter, a weird fiction writer (likely Randolph Carter who features in some of Lovecraft's other tales such as "The Statement of Randolph Carter") meets with his close friend, Joel Manton, in a cemetery near an old, dilapidated house on Meadow Hill in the town of Arkham, Massachusetts. As the two sit upon a weathered tomb, Carter tells Manton the tale of an indescribable entity that allegedly haunts the house and surrounding area. He contends that because such an entity cannot be perceived by the five senses, it becomes impossible to quantify and accurately describe, thus earning itself the term unnamable. 
    As the narration closes, this unnamable presence attacks both Carter and Manton. Both men survive and awaken later at St. Mary's hospital. They suffer from various lacerations, including scarring from a large horn-shaped object and bruises in the shape of hoof-prints on their backs.

    The Past Never Stays Dead
     
    As the anesthetic seeped into his veins, Jack Bardlow counted backward from a twisted tapestry of memories—haunting specters of love and death that clawed at his mind. Surgery promised to fix the broken pieces of his body, but the jagged shards of his past remained embedded deep in his soul.
     
    Jack's world teetered on the razor’s edge, between the fond echoes of Katie’s laughter and the grim shadow of her departure. Each recollection was a double-edged sword, slicing through the fragile hope of redemption with the same precision as the scalpel hovering above him.
     
    In the sterile chill of the operating room, Jack longed to drift back into the warmth of moments lost forever. But even amidst the haze of anesthesia, he knew one truth—visions of her couldn't mend the emptiness she left behind.

    As a professional storyteller, Maureen Nash can't help but see the narrative cues woven through her life. Like the series of letters addressed to her late husband from a stranger—the proprietor of The Moon Shell, a shop on Ocracoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina. The store is famous with shell collectors, but it's the cryptic letters from Allen Withrow, the shop's owner, that convince Maureen to travel to the small coastal town in the middle of hurricane season. At the very least, she expects she'll get a good story out of the experience, never anticipating it could end up a murder mystery . . . 
     
     
     
    In Maureen's first hours on the storm-lashed island, she averts several life-threatening accidents, stumbles over the body of a controversial Ocracoke local, and meets the ghost of an eighteenth-century Welsh pirate, Emrys Lloyd. To the untrained eye, all these unusual occurrences would seem to be random misfortunes, but Maureen senses there may be something connecting these stories. With Emrys's supernatural assistance, and the support of a few new friends, Maureen sets out unravel the truth, find a killer, and hopefully give this tale a satisfying ending . . . while also rewriting her own.

    A totally gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat 
     
     
     
    Max Donovan, a man who uses his knowledge of far-flung corners of the earth and a fair bit of muscle to "fix things," is relaxing by the sea in Senegal. 
     
     
     
    But his much-needed holiday after a botched operation in Malaysia, where he broke more than he fixed, is abruptly interrupted when a man is knifed on the beach. 
     
     
     
    When Donovan makes chase, the killer steals his car. Not a wise move. Donovan is now motivated to hunt him down. His curiosity has got the better of him, anyway. 
     
     
     
    His adversary is a hitman who has traveled to Senegal to fix a few things of his own. No stranger to danger, he is closing in for another kill. 
     
     
     
    The thrilling game of cat-and-mouse that ensues leaves the busy markets and bars of Dakar and heads into tropical forests and arid savannah, where poachers, smugglers, crocs, and lions, are all waiting to pounce. 
     
     
     
    Will Donovan get his man or has he met his match?
