CHRISTIE, Agatha.
Lord Edgware Dies.
London, The Crime Club by Collins, 1933.
The ninth Hercule Poirot novel, Lord Edgware Dies, was first serialised in The American Magazine as '13 For Dinner'. This alternative title arose from the superstition that thirteen at dinner causes bad luck for the person who first leaves the table. In the text, after a last-minute change of plans, the characters find themselves unexpectedly at a table of thirteen people, a turning point in Christie's chilling mystery. The novel was well received world-wide, adapted for radio, television, and into a 1934 film starring Austin Trevor in his third performance as Poirot.
