Une Poignee De Seigle

An old-fashioned London Hotel is not quite as reputable as it makes out… When Miss Marple comes up from the country for a holiday in London, she finds what she’s looking for at Bertram’s Hotel: traditional decor, impeccable service and an unmistakable atmosphere of danger behind the highly polished veneer. Yet, not even Miss Marple can foresee the violent chain of events set in motion when an eccentric guest makes his way to the airport on the wrong day…

A L'Hotel Bertram

A woman is killed by a poisoned dart in the enclosed confines of a commercial passenger plane…From seat No.9, Hercule Poirot was ideally placed to observe his fellow air passengers. Over to his right sat a pretty young woman, clearly infatuated with the man opposite; ahead, in seat No.13, sat a Countess with a poorly-concealed cocaine habit; across the gangway in seat No.8, a detective writer was being troubled by an aggressive wasp.What Poirot did not yet realize was that behind him, in seat No.2, sat the slumped, lifeless body of a woman.

La mort dans les nuages

Avec l'allure d'un retraité maniaque et casanier, Hercule Poirot le Belge le plus célèbre du monde avec Tintin est en réalité un personnage de Lewis Carroll, entre le Chapelier et le Lièvre de Mars. Des générations de lecteurs ont suivi avec une égale passion ses enquêtes méticuleuses aux conclusions déconcertantes. Quant à la très victorienne Miss Marple, vieille fille acide et tatillonne, confinée dans son village de St Mary Mead, elle n'a pas son pareil pour débusquer, avec une intuition fulgurante, la présence du Mal tapi derrière les rhododendrons en fleur.Contient- Le Mot pour rire (Strange Jest)- Le Mystère des régates (The Regatta Mystery)- L'Intrigante de Pollensa (Problem at Pollensa Bay)- Nous deux mon chien (Next to a Dog)- Droit d'asile (Sanctuary)- Miss Marple raconte une histoire (Miss Marple Tells a Story)- La Providence des amants (The Love Detectives)- Vol de bijoux à l'hôtel Métropole (The Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan)
