description: More than 2000 colorful characters from the world of Agatha ChristieA handsome companion to the works of Agatha Christie, this definitive biographical guide is a valuable reference for all mystery fans. The Agatha Christie Who’s Who can be read on its own or in conjunction with some or all of the rich and varied Christie canon. The characters are described by their creator, Agatha Christie, by author Randall Toye and by such memorable detectives as Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Ariadne Oliver, Inspector Japp and Captain Hastings. Aliases, nicknames, double agents, genealogies and suspects are included. In the world of intrigue and mystery, the characters are presented with all their eccentricities and suspicious traits without revealing the identities of the murderers. Roger Ackroyd; Lord Edgware; Rex Fortescue; Mr. Goby; Mr. Rafiel; Poirot’s one true love, the Countess Vera Rossakoff; his impeccable servant George; and that paragon of efficiency, Miss Felicity Lemon, are just some of the distinctive personalities included in this book.
