With more than 100 Agatha Christie books in print, HarperCollins has decided to throw open the search to decide Australia’s “Top Ten Killer Christies” to her legion of fans! Between the 13th of November and 13th of December, you'll be able to vote for your favourite book from a list of the Queen of Crime’s bestselling titles. Our goal is to pull together the definitive Australian Top 10, and to establish whether we're a nation of Poirot-ites or the Marple-ians. Christie publisher, David Brawn cites The ABC Murders (http://tiny.cc/z0zonw) as his favourite: “ Published in 1936, it comes from the true Golden Age of detective writing between the two World Wars. It’s a serial killer mystery, quite dark in tone for Agatha Christie, yet she is so at home writing for Poirot and Hastings by this point that the dialogue between them really sparkles. The set up is ingenious and the solution a genuine surprise. “ To help us in our January journey to find the number one title, follow this link to vote for your own favourite ‘Killer Christie’ and go in the running for an awesome prize!
