ISBN: 9780292728646 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Poisoning occurs in over half of Agatha Christie's many novels and stories.

Michael Gerald explores the use of poisons and drugs in Christie's fiction not only to commit... Poisoning occurs in over half of Agatha Christie's many novels and stories.
