Agatha Christie isn't given credit for her writing chops. She broke new ground, reinventing herself and the genre. She experimented with narrative structure, hiding the villain in plain sight, and unreliable narrators. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, her sixth novel, broke new ground. It can only be read once because the second time around, you're reading a different book. This is one that you CAN'T forget. When Dear Daughter read Roger Ackroyd for our annotations, she was fooled right up until the last paragraph and then screamed! She ranted for days over how she'd been fooled. Experience The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and be amazed. It's got the full Peschel Press treatment with hundreds of footnotes, essays, illustrations, and everything you need to get the history behind the mystery. Roger is available as a trade paperback and as an eBook ONLY in the United States. Visit the book page at peschelpress.com for details.

Did you know that Agatha Christie wrote romantic suspense? That's really what The Man in the Brown Suit is. Anne Beddingfeld craves adventure and she finds it! From a murder in the tube to a cruise ship to South Africa to murder in the jungle. It's all here. You don't know this Agatha Christie. She was already experimenting with two narrators, one of them very unreliable. She based much of the book on her own round-the-world cruise in 1922 and her own adventures in Southern Africa. Stolen diamonds, international intrigue, hidden crime bosses, riots, and a heroine who's in over her head. This novel has it all. If you like romantic suspense or romantic thrillers, give this Agatha a try. You get the complete novel plus hundreds of footnotes, period art, maps, and explanatory essays giving you a fuller picture of the world behind The Man in the Brown Suit. "The Complete, Annotated Man in the Brown Suit" is available as an eBook and as a trade paperback via the bookpage at peschelpress.com. Due to copyright restrictions, it's only available in the U.S. @officialagathachristie @agathafestival @agatha_christie_fan_club @allaboutagatha #annotatedbooks #annotatedbook #annotatedagathachristie #queenofcrime #thesecretofchimneys #agathachristiefan #christieforchristmas #ruritanianromance #internationaljewelthieves #murdermystery #peschelpress #peschelpressannotations #inspectorbattle #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #agathachristie #agathachristiebooks #agathachristiebookclub #englishcountryhousemurders #englishcountryhousemysteries #agathachristiethriller #anthonycade #secretidentities #booksmakethebestgifts #thehistorybehindthemystery #historybehindthemystery #romanticthrillers #agathachristienovels #romanticsuspense

The Secret of Chimneys is one of Agatha's lesser-known books. If you only know it from the dreadful film adaptation that shoehorned in Miss Marple (!) in place of Inspector Battle, you're in for a fast-moving treat. Adventure! Derring-do! Brave hero and clever heroine! Man with a past! International jewel theives! And murder, naturally. The film (with Miss Marple who doesn't fit at all) castrated Anthony Cade, making him a mere unimportant shadow of the man Agatha envisioned. It was in Chimneys that Agatha introduced Inspector Battle of Scotland Yard. Our version of Chimneys includes the complete text (naturally) along with hundreds of footnotes explaining all the cultural changes, refererences, and everything else you might wonder about when reading. Bill added essays explaining more about the world of Chimneys, including how it fits squarely within the tradition of Ruritanian romances. Remember the Prisoner of Zenda? You'll recognize hints of it here. Plus, as many period illustrations Bill could squeeze in! For copyright reasons, our edition is only available within the United States. It is available as an eBook and as a trade paperback. Visit peschelpress.com to learn more about how you can order your copy today. Get or give a Christie for Christmas, a Christie that you may not know existed. @officialagathachristie @agathafestival @agatha_christie_fan_club @allaboutagatha #annotatedbooks #annotatedbook #annotatedagathachristie #queenofcrime #thesecretofchimneys #agathachristiefan #christieforchristmas #ruritanianromance #internationaljewelthieves #murdermystery #peschelpress #peschelpressannotations #inspectorbattle #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #agathachristie #agathachristiebooks #agathachristiebookclub #englishcountryhousemurders #englishcountryhousemysteries #agathachristiethriller #anthonycade #secretidentities #booksmakethebestgifts #thehistorybehindthemystery #historybehindthemystery #romanticthrillers #agathachristienovels #romanticsuspense

Dorothy Sayers isn't as well-known as Agatha Christie, but she should be! Her mysteries are astonishing, complex, explore parts of English culture you didn't know existed, and they're educational! However, if you're not up on your ancient Greek and Latin and need to brush up on your Shakespeare, we've got the annotated version of her first novel, Whose Body. No need to translate that ancient Greek or race to your complete works of Shakespeare. Bill did the work for you. This is our second edition! Bill added hundreds of footnotes, rewrote existing ones, revised essays, added maps, plenty of art and much, much more over our first edition. He's greatly enhanced your enjoyment of reading Dorothy Sayers' first Lord Peter Wimsey mystery. Look for The Complete Annotated Whose Body? at the bookpage at peschelpress.com It's available as an eBook and a trade paperback so get your copy today.

Agatha Christie isn't given credit for her writing chops. She broke new ground, reinventing herself and the genre. She experimented with narrative structure, hiding the villain in plain sight, and unreliable narrators. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, her sixth novel, broke new ground. It can only be read once because the second time around, you're reading a different book. This is one that you CAN'T forget. When Dear Daughter read Roger Ackroyd for our annotations, she was fooled right up until the last paragraph and then screamed! She ranted for days over how she'd been fooled. Experience The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and be amazed. It's got the full Peschel Press treatment with hundreds of footnotes, essays, illustrations, and everything you need to get the history behind the mystery. Roger is available as a trade paperback and as an eBook ONLY in the United States. Visit the book page at peschelpress.com for details.

The film (with Miss Marple who doesn't fit at all) castrated Anthony Cade, making him a mere unimportant shadow of the man Agatha envisioned. It was in Chimneys that Agatha introduced Inspector Battle of Scotland Yard. Our version of Chimneys includes the complete text (naturally) along with hundreds of footnotes explaining all the cultural changes, refererences, and everything else you might wonder about when reading. Bill added essays explaining more about the world of Chimneys, including how it fits squarely within the tradition of Ruritanian romances. Remember the Prisoner of Zenda? You'll recognize hints of it here. Plus, as many period illustrations Bill could squeeze in! For copyright reasons, our edition is only available within the United States. It is available as an eBook and as a trade paperback. Visit peschelpress.com to learn more about how you can order your copy today. Get or give a Christie for Christmas, a Christie that you may not know existed. @officialagathachristie @agathafestival @agatha_christie_fan_club #annotatedbooks #annotatedbook #annotatedagathachristie #queenofcrime #thesecretofchimneys #agathachristiefan #christieforchristmas #ruritanianromance #internationaljewelthieves #murdermystery #peschelpress #peschelpressannotations #inspectorbattle #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #agathachristie #agathachristiebooks #agathachristiebookclub #englishcountryhousemurders #englishcountryhousemysteries #agathachristiethriller #anthonycade #secretidentities #booksmakethebestgifts #thehistorybehindthemystery #historybehindthemystery #romanticthrillers #agathachristienovels #romanticsuspense

Love Downton Abbey? Love mysteries? Wonder why no one's written a mystery series that you can really sink your teeth into with an aristocratic sleuth? Look no further than Dorothy L. Sayers and her Lord Peter Wimsey series. "Whose Body" was her first mystery novel and it's a killer: musical bodies, a London aristocrat (second son so he's got time and money to go sleuthing) who's far more than he seems, and the most grand guginol scene you've ever read and this from a book written back in 1923! Dorothy was a supremely well-educated woman (she was among the earliest female students at Oxford) and she shows off in her novels. If your Latin and Greek are rusty and you need to brush up on your Shakespeare, you'll want to read our complete, annotated edition of Whose Body. Bill added hundreds of footnotes to explain all the layers and layers of complexity Dorothy wove into her mystery. Because he didn't know his Greek, he annotated Sayers for the rest of us. Then, he went further and added maps of London so you can see where Lord Peter went and explanatory essays afterwards to give more detail on Sayers' fascinating, lost world. Because of copyright restrictions, The Complete, Annotated Whose Body is only available within the United States. It's available as an eBook and a trade paperback.

Do you want a Christie for Christmas that you haven't read? Murder on the Links is Agatha's third novel, her second featuring Hercule Poirot. It tends to get forgotten, coming as it does between his debut in The Mysterious Affair at Styles and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, which set the world on fire for its audacity. Yet Murder on the Links has its charms . Agatha began developing Poirot and his skills. At the same time, she was becoming increasingly tired of Hastings. Thus, he meets his Cinderella and his fate is sealed. The murder takes place alongside a golf course (the links in the title). Golf was a sport that Agatha was learning, largely because Archie really liked it. She wasn't nearly as keen. This is also one of her few novels inspired by a true crime. Marguerite Steinheil, French adventuress, mistress to the President of France, was accused of murdering her husband. Amazingly, she got away with it. There are hundreds of footnotes explaining every aspect of the novel, maps of the area, many other essays besides the one about Marguerite. Learn the history behind the mystery. Because of copyright restrictions, our complete annotated Murder on the Links is only available in the United States. Visit the bookpage at peschelpress.com to order your copy and get or give a Christie for Christmas. It's available as both an eBook and a trade paperback. Due to file size restrictions, the eBook does have less art than the trade paperback, but you'll see Marguerite in all her glory. @officialagathachristie @agatha_christie_fan_club @agathafestival #peschelpress #peschelpressannotations #christieforchristmas #queenofcrime #murderonthelinks #herculepoirot #poirotnovels #margueritesteinheil @margueritesteinheil #adventuresses #annotatedbooks #annotatedagathachristie #annotatedbooksarethebest #queenofcrime #historybehindthemystery #booksmakethebestgifts #frenchmurders #frenchmurderercrimestory #agathachristiefans #agathachristiefanswillloveit #billpeschel #annotatednovels #completeannotatedmurderonthelinks #themurderonthelinks #themurderonthelinksbyagathachristie #themurderonthelinksherculepoirotbook2 #poirot #classicmysteries #golfcoursemysteries

Give a Christie for Christmas that many people don't know she wrote and have never read! Agatha Christie wrote many more books than those starring Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple. In The Secret Adversary, she introduced two characters, Tommy and Tuppence. They were young adventurers and there's more than a hint of her and Archie in them. Unlike all of Agatha's other characters, she allowed Tommy and Tuppence to age as the world around them moved forward. She wrote four Tommy and Tuppence novels in all. This is the first; a charming, light-hearted thriller that could be ripped from today's headlines. Social unrest? Terrorists? Economic turmoil? Anarchy in the U.K? The world's foundations shaking under your feet? It's all here in The Secret Adversary. This is the ONLY annotated edition of the Secret Adversary available and there's lots to discover in the history behind the mystery. You get the complete text. Plus, we've added hundreds of footnotes, maps, and explanatory essays giving more of the background of Tommy and Tuppence's world as they demobilized from World War I. An added bonus was Bill's discovery that The Secret Adversary had been serialized in an American newspaper with illustrations. Bill retrieved them and reunited them with the text, making this not just annotated, but illustrated. This edition is available only in the U.S. due to copyright restrictions. It is available in both eBook and trade paperback editions.

Why not give someone you love a Christie for Christmas? Here's Agatha Christie's first novel in which she introduced Hercule Poirot to the world and laid down some of the detective tropes we use today. Why our edition? Because when Agatha wrote this book, she wrote a contemporary. That is, she wrote for the audience of her day which knew what a land girl was, why strychnine was used as a health tonic, what a spills vase was, and why the doctor drove up in gig and not a barouche. Bill added hundreds of footnotes explaining the context behind the text, meanings and cultural practices now lost to time. Agatha Christie is always, always worth reading but knowing the world of England during the Great War enhances the story. This is a great way to introduce Agatha Christie to someone who's never read her before. Learn the history behind the mystery with this deluxe, annotated edition. It's available as an eBook, a trade paperback, and a hardback! Visit the bookpage at peschelpress.com to learn how to order your copy today. Due to copyright restrictions, our annotated and footnoted edition is ONLY available in the United States. #giftideas #christieforchristmas #peschelpress #mysteriousaffairatstyles #agathachristie #annotatedbooks #annotatedagathachristie #herculepoirot #herculepoirotmystery #poirot #poirotmystery #belgianrefugees #wwi #worldwarone #greatwar #queenofcrime #mysterynovel #historybehindthemystery #agathachristienovels #billpeschel #englishcountryhousemystery #landgirls #landgirls1916 #peschelpressannotations #booksmakethebestgifts
