Journal Entry 1 by AgnesXNitt from Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Sunday, September 21, 2008
'He loves a Mystery...
A lonely manor filled with fear...a shot in the summer-scented night...a beautiful woman's hideous scream...all are invitations for the elegant, elusive, inimitable Mr Harley Quin to arrive on the scene.
Quin seeks his quarry in the world of aristocratic evil and blue-blooded criminality to see that justice is done.
Here is one of Agatha Christie's creations - following a twisting labyrinth of passion, blackmail and murder to it's last startling turnabout and riveting revelation.'
I have read AC since I was about 8 or 9 years old, morbid childhood curiousity or what I don't know, and I adore her. However, I have *never* come across mention of Mr Harley Quin - until a bookring from Smurphie - AC 'The Detectives' - introduced me to him and Mr Satterthwaite. And so, when I found this 1978 USA published edition of 'The Mysterious Mr Quin', how could I resist? The box was labelled '89p each or two for £1.49' but the nice man who volunteers there let me have this, 'The Big Four' *&* 'Poirot Investigates' for the price of two. I could resist!
Paperback, good condition.
