＂One does not like to make definite assertions unless one has a little more definite knowledge.＂

—— Agatha Christie, Miss Marple, Nemesis

收錄多達五十五則瑪波小姐推理故事，
從血腥凶殺案到超自然懸疑驚悚事件，
案件依照編年順序收錄瑪波小姐所遭遇的種種離奇案件，
完整滿足推理迷無止境如深淵般的慾望！！

A brand new omnibus of 55 short stories, presented for the first time in chronological order.

Described by her friend Dolly Bantry as ＂the typical old maid of fiction＂, Miss Marple has lived almost her entire life in the sleepy hamlet of St Mary Mead. Yet, by observing village life she has gained an unparalleled insight into human nature – and used it to devastating effect. As her friend Sir Henry Clithering, the ex-Commissioner of Scotland Yard has been heard to say: ＂She＇s just the finest detective God ever made.＂ – and many Agatha Christie fans would agree.

Appearing for the first time in The Murder at The Vicarage (1930) her crime-fighting career spanned over forty years when she solved her final case in 1977 in Sleeping Murder. With every tale flawlessly plotted by the Queen of Crime herself, these short stories provide a feast for hardened Agatha Christie addicts as well as those who have grown to love the detective through her many film and television appearances.

Here, for the first time, more than 50 of Agatha Christie＇s mini masterpieces have been collected together in one volume, perfectly illustrating the true breadth of her talent. As well as every story featuring Miss Marple, the book includes additional stand-alone tales, from macabre tales of the supernatural, through suspense-ridden mysteries, to heart-stopping cases of murder.

瑪波小姐故事曾多次改編為電影、電視影集、動畫、廣播劇及舞台劇等多種形式，例如2004年英國 ITV 所推出的影集《瑪波小姐探案》（Agatha Christie＇s Marple），瑪波小姐一角由潔拉汀．麥克伊玟（Geraldine McEwan）飾演，麥克伊玟在主演三季後，由茱莉亞．麥肯齊（Julia McKenzie）接手第四季瑪波小姐的演出。本劇更網羅知名影星班奈狄克．康柏拜區（Benedict Cumberbatch）、英國老牌演員史蒂芬．邱切特（Stephen Churchett）、丹．史蒂文斯（Dan Stevens）、敦克爾克大行動（Dunkirk）的詹姆士．達西（James D＇Arcy）、馬修古迪（Matthew Goode）與馬克加蒂斯（Mark Gatiss）等眾多英國演員參與演出。原主角潔拉汀．麥克伊玟則不幸於2015年1月30日因中風病逝於倫敦查靈克羅斯醫院（Charing Cross Hospital）。
　　　　

■阿嘉莎．克莉絲蒂／Agatha Christie
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 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.

根據金氏世界紀錄統計，阿嘉莎．克莉絲蒂是人類史上最暢銷的文學作家，若將其所有形式的著作列入，則作品總銷售量只遜於聖經與莎翁，筆下著作翻譯版多達103種語言，總銷售量大舉突破廿億本。身為法國書籍銷售量紀錄保持者，截至2003年，克莉絲蒂光是在法國就賣出高達四千萬本法文版著作，遠勝排名第二的法國大文豪左拉的兩千兩百萬本：而阿嘉莎．克莉絲蒂更是公認的「偵探小說女王」（Queen of Crime），對英國偵探小說的發展有著舉足輕重的地位，名下著作至今更是持續影響後世諸多作家。
