NEW YORK, NY – Cross over the shadowy doorstep and into the sinister world of crime writing’s Grand Dame with AGATHA CHRISTIE: POIROT & MARPLE. In this unprecedented 17-disc collection of classic mysteries, put up the tea kettle, lock the door and sit back as two of Christie’s most popular mystery-solvers, the prim and proper Miss Marple (Joan Hickson) and the diminutive, dapper Hercule Poirot (David Suchet), cleverly crack 21 spine-tingling murder cases.

Dressed to the nines, impeccably mannered and infuriatingly arch, Hercule Poirot is a detective like no other. Tony© Award-nominee Suchet stars in his signature role as the beloved Belgian sleuth, braving some of Christie’s most notable and unpredictable plot twists in some of her most memorable tales. Lavish settings around the globe, a talented ensemble cast, and rich period details bring 12 feature-length Poirot classics to superlative life, including “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd”, “Lord Edgeware Dies”, “Murder in Mesopotamia”, “Evil Under the Sun”, “Death on the Nile” and “Five Little Pigs”.
Miss Jane Marple is a consummate lady and an unflappable crime-stopper with intuition sharper than even her knitting needles. As she travels from city to countryside -- and even to the Caribbean -- murders, missing bodies and haunted dreams have a habit of falling across her path, which is precisely when, “tail up and head down,” the beloved sleuth goes into action. Portrayed by Christie’s personal choice for the role, veteran stage actress Hickson, Miss Marple artfully unravels nine unthinkable crimes with deft skill and a proper touch of class, including: “A Caribbean Mystery”, “The Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side”, “4:50 from Paddington”, “The Moving Finger” and “They Do it With Mirrors”.
