Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IT was 2 p.m. on the afternoon of May 7, 1915. The Lusitania had been struck by two torpedoes in succession and was sinking rapidly, while the boats were being launched with all possible speed. The women and children were being lined up awaiting their turn. Some still clung desperately to husbands and fathers; others clutched their children closely to their breasts. One girl stood alone, slightly apart from the rest. She was quite young, not more than eighteen. She did not seem afraid, and her grave, steadfast eyes looked straight ahead. "I beg your pardon." A man's voice beside her made her start and turn. She had noticed the speaker more than once amongst the first-class passengers. There had been a hint of mystery about him which had appealed to her imagination. He spoke to no one. If anyone spoke to him he was quick to rebuff the overture. Also he had a nervous way of looking over his shoulder with a swift, suspicious glance. She noticed now that he was greatly agitated. There were beads of perspiration on his brow. He was evidently in a state of overmastering fear. And yet he did not strike her as the kind of man who would be afraid to meet death!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armchair Fiction presents Mammoth Mystery Double Classics-featuring illustrated editions of two all-time mystery-crime standards, with 440 pages or more of whodunit thrills. This double novel features two classics by the queen of murder mysteries, Agatha Christie. The first tale is a Hercule Poirot thriller, "The Mysterious Affair at Styles." There were not less than seven people at the fashionable Styles estate in Essex who might have felt a certain degree of comfort if Emily Inglethorp were more dead than alive. There were not less than seven motives and no fewer than seven apparently foolproof alibis when the wealthy lady was found murdered in her bed. So this led to the ultimate question-had the perfect crime been committed? Left to less perceptible eyes than those of the scrupulous M. Hercule Poirot, a monstrously malignant murderer might have gone unpunished. But slowly and surely, Poirot, the master Belgian detective, began to carve a path toward the identity of the killer. "The Mysterious Affair at Styles" marked the first appearance of Agatha Christie's beloved Belgain sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Over the years, Christie's dogged passion for detail and her cool perception of character made her an unparalleled creator of literary crime. Our second Christie tale is another great one, "The Secret Adversary." Tommy Beresford and Prudence "Tuppence" Cowley are unemployed, broke, and seeking some adventure in their young lives. A chance meeting between these two old friends becomes a destined partnership when they create "The Young Adventurers, Ltd.," where they are "willing to do anything, and go anywhere." But they seem destined to get more excitement than bargained for when the duo is asked to take on the case of the missing Jane Finn, whose disappearance with highly secretive government papers spells potential disaster! Twists and turns abound with Tommy and Turppence on the case, as they soon find more thrills and danger than they ever dreamed of. Joined by American millionaire Julius P. Hershimmer, they follow the clues into a mystery embroiled with wartime intrigue, murder, and the sinister Mr. Brown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agatha Christie, DBE, (15 September 1890 – 12 January 1976), was a British crime writer of novels, short stories, and plays. She also wrote romances under the name Mary Westmacott, but she is best remembered for her 80 detective novels—especially those featuring Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple—and her successful West End theatre plays.According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Christie is the best-selling writer of books of all time and, with William Shakespeare, the best-selling author of any kind. She has sold roughly four billion copies of her novels.[1] According to Index Translationum, Christie is the most translated individual author, with only the collective corporate works of Walt Disney Productions surpassing her.[2] Her books have been translated into at least 103 languages.[3]Christie's stage play The Mousetrap holds the record for the longest initial run: it opened at the Ambassadors Theatre in London on 25 November 1952 and as of 2011 is still running after more than 23,000 performances. In 1955, Christie was the first recipient of the Mystery Writers of America's highest honour, the Grand Master Award, and in the same year Witness for the Prosecution was given an Edgar Award by the MWA for Best Play. Most of her books and short stories have been filmed, some many times over (Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile and 4.50 From Paddington for instance), and many have been adapted for television, radio, video games and comics. - WikipediaTable of ContentsThe Mysterious Affair at Styles CHAPTER I.
