The Case of the Missing Lady - An Agatha Christie Short Story

A novel of anger, jealousy, betrayal and murder in 2000 BC

 It is Egypt, 2000 BC, where death gives meaning to life. At the foot of a cliff lies the broken, twisted body of Nofret, concubine to a Ka-priest. Young, beautiful and venomous, most agree that she deserved to die like a snake. Yet Renisenb, the priest's daughter, believes that the woman's death was not fate, but murder. Increasingly, she becomes convinced that the source of evil lurks within her own father's household.

 As the wife of an eminent archaeologist, Agatha Christie took part in several expeditions to the Middle East. Drawing upon this experience and exhaustive research, she wrote this serial killer mystery laid in Egypt 4000 years ago.

Mrs Mac Ginty Est Morte

Un soir, Hercule Poirot dîne dans un restaurant londonien. Sa table jouxte celle d'un jeune couple apparemment très épris, Jackie de Bellefort et Simon Doyle. Quelques semaines plus tard, à l'occasion d'une croisière sur le Nil, le grand détective a la surprise de retrouver Simon Doyle marié à Linett Ridgeway. S'apercevant que Jackie s'ingénie à croiser le chemin du jeune couple, Hercule Poirot sent la tragédie venir à grand pas et il a peur... Tout au long de ce dramatique chassé-croisé amoureux, Poirot, moins orgueilleux qu'à l'accoutumée, fait montre d'une grande psychologie pour cerner chacun des personnages et tenter de raisonner ce trio de jeunes gens qui court à sa perte. Dans cette intrigue poignante au suspense haletant, on retrouve ce style inimitable, si typiquement anglais, et ces irrésistibles pointes d'humour tout en finesse signées Agatha Christie. --Sophie Colpaert
