Curtain:Poirot’s Last Case by Agatha Christie

Some endings are worth waiting for. And this one? Unforgettable.

The last book Agatha Christie published before her death, this is the novel she kept sealed away for decades — written during the Second World War and saved, deliberately, for last. It is the Queen of Mystery’s final gift to her readers, and she did not disappoint.

The crime-fighting careers of Hercule Poirot and his faithful companion Captain Hastings have come full circle. They find themselves back at Styles — that grand, rambling Essex country house where it all began — now a quiet guest retreat, but no less dangerous for it. Poirot, though crippled with arthritis and slowed by time, has lost none of his brilliance. Those legendary little gray cells are as sharp as ever.

When Poirot identifies one of the seemingly unremarkable guests as a five-time killer, even Hastings has his doubts. But Poirot is certain. And he knows, with quiet urgency, that he must stop a sixth murder before the final curtain descends.

This exclusive, officially authorized edition features a beautiful new series look — a worthy package for one of the most celebrated mysteries ever written. It is a book that rewards loyal readers and welcomes newcomers alike, delivering the kind of twist that stays with you long after you’ve closed the cover.
