Evil Under the Sun

It was not unusual to find the sun-loving Arlena Stuart stretched out on a beach, face down. Only, on this occasion, there was no sun...she had been strangled.

Ever since her arrival, the air had been thick with sexual tension. Each of the seaside guest had a motive to kill her, including Arelena's new husband.

But Hercule Poirot suspects that this apparent 'crime of passion' conceals something much more evil.

Agatha Christie is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English with another billion in over 70 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time and in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 20 plays, and six novels written under the name of Mary Westmacott.

'I never cease to admire the fertility of Agatha Christie's imagination. Her characters are vivacious and entertaining.'
Sunday Times

'She springs her secret like a land-mine'
