The price clipped wrapper with chipping to the head and foot of the spine, fading to the spine, small mark to author’s name on the front panel and with internal browning to extremities.
Elephants Can Remember by Agatha Christie, published in 1972, features the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, who investigates a cold case involving the mysterious deaths of a couple over a decade earlier. Ariadne Oliver, a mystery writer and Poirot’s friend, assists him in unravelling the truth. The novel explores themes of memory and the impact of the past on the present, highlighting Christie’s skill in crafting intricate, suspenseful plots. The novel was met with mixed reviews when published and a study done in 2009 indicated that Christie may have been suffering from some form of dementia when writing the book due to the number of repeated phrases and indefinite nouns it contained.
