Summary

In the exquisite collection "British Murder Mysteries - Agatha Christie Collection," readers delve into the labyrinthine world of mystery, where the mundane turns sinister through Christie's masterful storytelling. This anthology showcases her unparalleled command of narrative structure, interweaving intricate plots with engaging character studies, all underpinned by a distinctively British ambiance. Christie deftly employs the classic whodunit format, skillfully crafting tension and intrigue, while her keen observations of social mores illuminate the historical context of early 20th century Britain. Agatha Christie, often heralded as the 'Queen of Crime,' was profoundly influenced by her upbringing in Victorian England. Living through periods of social upheaval and global conflict, her experiences shaped her profound understanding of human nature and morality, elements deeply embedded in her narratives. Christie's insight into the psychology of her characters invites readers to not only solve the mysteries but also to ponder the darker aspects of human behavior. This collection is an essential read for aficionados of the genre. It offers a rich tapestry of suspense and drama that engages the intellect while satisfying the craving for intrigue. For those who appreciate elegance in storytelling and the thrill of unraveling a good mystery, Christie's work remains timeless and captivating.

    The moment Ava Harper-Walker and Drew return from their honeymoon, they have to rush off to battle a raging sea monster that escaped from Hell. And of course, Luci is nowhere to be found. He's presumably searching for the last escapees, who continue to elude him. 
 
 
 
But hey, it's okay. Ava's got this. She gets the disgusting sea monster—slime tentacles, ew—back to its fiery prison, then returns home to find the Vikings have come to call. They want Alfred, and they want him bad. 
 
 
 
Over Ava's dead body. 
 
 
 
When one of her favorite people goes missing, aka Alfred, Ava goes into mama-bear mode. Nobody is going to get away with stealing her friend and butler. The immortal Vikings are the first names on her suspect list, but was it really them? 
 
 
 
The truth stone aids in the search, but Ava begins to doubt even that as everyone who has ever met Alfred becomes a suspect. 
 
 
 
Not to mention Winnie. As Alfred's main squeeze, Aunt Winnie is losing it. And that is putting it mildly. 
 
 
 
When Winnie begins giving their family and friends the skeptical side-eye, Ava knows she's got to find Alfred and fast. Not just for his safety, but for the safety of anyone who crosses Winnie's path.
