Here are some pictures I took at the Torre Abbey Exhibition in Torquay of Tom Adams' iconic cover illustrations of Agatha Christie's paperbacks, mainly from the 60s, 70s, 80s. The exhibition runs until 30 November 2025.

Here I am staying at the Imperial Hotel in Torquay prior to see illustrator Tom Adams' exhibition of Agatha Christie covers on display at Torre Abbey. Also snapped statues of the good lady herself. Bergerac was being filmed at the hotel while I was there.

Here's the latest poster advertising Agatha Christie's phenomenal play The Mousetrap which is currently in its 73rd year in London's West End. The posters can be seen at Kings Cross (where I snapped this one) and Victoria tube stations - among other places.

There has been much lamenting in the press that Agatha Christie's house in Baghdad has fallen into disrepair. The two-storey house was the headquarters for the British School of Archaeology in Iraq from 1955 onwards and overlooks the Tigris River in the less influential area of Karadet Maryam.

The idea for Murder in Pelham Wood came to me during lockdown and this highly jolly cover was clearly a knee-jerk against difficult times. My sleuths actor Lyle Revel and cellist Hermione Bradbury find a body on a Hallowe'en... www.amazon.co.uk/Murder-Pelha...

Here's the Fontana paperback version of The Clocks by Agatha Christie, which is superbly illustrated by Tom Adams. The novel was written during the Big Freeze that blanketed England beneath huge drifts of snow from December 1962 to February 1963. In Oxford, a man drove a car across the Thames.
