Beschreibung

A British detective goes undercover in the South of France to investigate a suspicious death in this twisting mystery. 
 
A British ministry official wants Inspector Littlejohn to look into the death of his brother and sister-in-law who were killed in an automobile accident outside a small village in southern France. Though the French police ruled it an accident, the official isn’t satisfied. Something seems wrong.  
 
With no jurisdiction in Provence, Littlejohn must investigate unofficially. So, he and his wife decide to vacation in the area. Soon witnesses start disappearing, the couple discovers they’re being followed, and the local marquis tells Littlejohn that it may be time to go back home. But the detective isn’t going anywhere until he solves the deadly mystery that reaches back to a shooting incident from before World War II.

    Book #1 in Agatha Christie's Poirot series.
    'Instinct is a marvellous thing. It can neither be explained nor ignored.'
    
    The extraordinary debut from Agatha Christie, the future Queen of Crime, The Mysterious Affair at Styles remains a timeless benchmark of the murder mystery genre.
    
    The year is 1916. The world is in the throes of the First World War and uncertainty hangs heavily in the air. In Styles Court, an eerily quiet English country estate, tragedy strikes when wealthy heiress, Emily Inglethorp, is poisoned in her locked bedroom, her late husband's name on her dying lips. Suspicions immediately fall on those closest to Emily – her purposeless stepsons, scheming new spouse and devoted companion – with various motives rising quickly to the surface. But amongst the noise of the unspoken accusations, only one man is able to discover the truth. Enter the unparallelled Hercule Poirot, a Belgian detective with a knack for logic and shrewd eye for detail. Deliciously unexpected and meticulously crafted, The Mysterious Affair at Styles showcases Christie's early genius for detective fiction, and remains widely read to this day.
    Agatha Christie (1890 – 1976) was an English author. She was a prolific writer, most famous for her detective novels and short story collections which centred around the iconic characters of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Renowned as the 'Queen of Crime', she remains the bestselling novelist of all time, with her sales only second to the Bible.

    Beneath the Southern charm, Savannah's secrets are darker than its cobblestone streets. 
     
    US Marshal Katelyn Landers never expected her estranged sister-in-law, Vivienne Chandler, to show up on her doorstep, especially not with a chilling claim that her husband has emptied their bank accounts and vanished. But what begins as a shocking revelation takes a darker turn when Vivienne herself disappears in the dead of night, leaving behind three young children and a trail of unsettling questions. 
     
    As Katelyn juggles the demands of her job and the sudden responsibility of caring for three traumatized kids, she delves into the murky mystery of her missing family members. Every clue she uncovers only deepens the dangerous web of deceit, forcing Katelyn to confront a harrowing choice: protect her loved ones or bring the guilty to justice. 
     
    If the pulse-pounding suspense of Harlan Coben's The Stranger kept you on edge, Veronica Mixon's thriller Changing Sands will have you hooked from the first page.
