Other editions of book Lord Edgware dies

Agatha Christie's famous murder mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. Poirot had been present when Jane bragged of her plan to 'get rid of' her estranged husband. Now the monstrous man was dead. And yet the great Belgian detective couldn't help feeling that he was being taken for a ride. After all, how could Jane have stabbed Lord Edgware to death in his library at exactly the same time she was seen dining with friends? And what could be her motive now that the aristocrat had finally granted her a divorce?

Actress Jane Wilkinson approaches Hercule Poirot and asks for help with her husband, Lord Edgware, who is refusing to divorce her. The next morning Lord Edgware is found murdered and witnesses say Jane Wilkinson was the last person to see him alive. However, Jane was at a dinner party miles away at the time with guests who will testify to her being there. When a second murder is committed, Poirot finds himself in the midst of one his most perplexing cases.

Bewitching actress Jane Wilkinson wants a divorce, but her husband, Lord Edgware, refuses. She implores Hercule Poirot to use his famed tact and logic to make her case. Laughing, she tells Poirot if he fails she may have to bump off her husband herself. But it is no laughing matter when Lord Edgware is murdered, a well-placed knife wound at the base of his neck. It will take the precise Poirot to sort out the lies from the alibis.
