Part of the Monnaie de Paris ongoing literary series, this piece commemorates Agatha Christie's 1942 novel — one of her Miss Marple titles, and among the first to lean heavily on the inversion of the cozy country-house formula by opening with a corpse precisely where it shouldn't be. Christie reportedly wrote the book as a deliberate parody of the genre's own conventions.
France has no particular national claim to Christie, but her works sell more copies in French translation than almost any other foreign author, which explains the series' commercial logic.
