0:00.0	And the Yeah, Hello everyone and welcome to our first of many Agatha Christie stories at
0:34.0	1001 Clai. Hello everyone and welcome to our first of many Agatha Christie stories at one classic short stories and tales. The Guinness Book of World Records lists
0:39.9	England's own Agatha Christie as the best-selling novelist of all time.
0:44.8	And if you ask anyone who reads, and especially anyone who enjoys a great mystery,
