Review Quotes:
'I can say without any equivocation that this is one of the most brilliant, exciting, and most ground-breaking studies of crime fiction I have read in the past 20 years (and that all serious scholars of the genre need to read) and one that promises to bring welcome and renewed interest to Agatha Christie and to Christie scholarship.'
Professor Andrew Pepper, Queen's University, Belfast, Ireland.
