The perfect holiday
For a passionate crime
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 sunshe 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 Arelenas new husband.
But Hercule Poirot suspects that this apparent crime of passion conceals something much more evil.

I never cease to admire the fertility of Agatha Christies imagination. Her characters are vivacious and entertaining. Sunday Times
She springs her secret like a land-mine Times Literary Supplement
Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
