A dozen thrilling stories set in steamy days and nights, created by the Queen of Crime herself and compiled into this collection for holiday evenings. As temperatures rise, so does the likelihood of crime, whether in Cornwall or on the Riviera, whether in the grounds of the Temple of Apollo or an English country estate. However, even the scorching rays of the sun will not prevent the detectives from Agatha Christie's pen to solve even the most complicated cases. Spread the sunbeds on the beach or in the shade of the trees and enjoy stories full of masterful revelations and final icing on the cake. And one of the author's memories of a summer tragicomic incident from her childhood.
