This International Collectors Library edition combines two of Agatha Christie’s most celebrated works, “Curtain” and “The Mysterious Affair at Styles.” “Curtain” was the final novel featuring Christie’s iconic detective, Hercule Poirot, and was written during World War II but locked away to be published posthumously as her farewell to the character. It is a masterful culmination of Poirot’s career, showcasing Christie’s skill for intricate plotting and psychological depth. “The Mysterious Affair at Styles” holds historical significance as Christie’s debut novel and the introduction of Poirot, a character who would shape the course of the mystery genre. Despite its age, this copy remains in acceptable condition, offering collectors and readers a chance to experience these seminal works in their original hardcover format, with the patina of past ownership adding to their allure.
