This book is a comprehensive exploration of 90 years of film and television adaptations of the world’s best-selling novelist’s work. Drawing on extensive archival material, it offers new information regarding both the well-known and forgotten screen adaptations of Agatha Christie’s stories, including unmade and rare adaptations, some of which have been unseen for more than half a century. This history offers intriguing insights into the discussions and debates that surrounded many of these screen projects – something that is brought to life through previously unpublished correspondence from Christie herself and a new wide-ranging interview with her grandson, Mathew Prichard. Agatha Christie on Screen takes the reader on a journey from little known silent film adaptations, through to famous screen productions including 1974’s Murder on the Orient Express, as well as the television series of the Poirot and Miss Marple stories and, most recently, the BBC’s acclaimed version of And Then There Were None.

Fearing an epidemic, the Metropolitan Police call upon bacteriologist Dr Anton Kronberg to examine the body. All signs point toward cholera having killed the man…but for faint marks around wrists and ankles. Evidence for a crime is weak, and the police lose interest in the case. But Kronberg suspects that the dead man’s final days had been steeped in cruelty. Soon, a second victim is found, and Kronberg gets embroiled in a web of abduction, abuse, and murder. But catching a killer and staying alive would be easier if the doctor didn’t have secrets of…her own.

Mai stattfinden - bis der schöne Frühlingsmorgen durch einen Mord getrübt wird. Urplötzlich sieht sie sich in ein tödliches Geheimnis verwickelt. Immer dabei sind die Silberlocken, vier neugierige alte Damen, die keine Gelegenheit auslassen, ihre detektivischen Fähigkeiten zu trainieren! Gemma hat nun alle Hände voll zu tun: Sie muss nicht nur köstliche Kuchen und buttrige Scones in ihrem typisch englischen Tearoom servieren, sondern spioniert auch einer russischen "Prinzessin" nach und besucht zusammen mit den vier alten Spürnasen einen Krav-Maga-Kurs. Doch das sind nicht ihre einzigen Probleme. Ihre kleine Tigerkatze Müsli sorgt für Aufruhr im Altenheim und ihre Mutter schafft unermüdlich neue seltsame Pflanzen für Gemmas Cottage heran ... Ernsthaftes Kopfzerbrechen bereitet ihr aber das merkwürdige Verhalten ihres Freundes. Devlin O'Connor war immer schon ein wenig rätselhaft, doch neuerdings gibt sich der gut aussehende Detective beim CID seltsam distanziert. Fast könnte man meinen, dass er ihr aus dem Weg geht. Lügt er sie etwa an? Wenn ja, warum?(*Mit Rezept für klassische Banoffee-Torte!)
