    Praise for A Room Swept White and Sophie Hannah ‘Intriguing, unnerving and engrossing . Hannah has timing down to an art. What she has created in A Room Swept White is more than a murder mystery. It is the most adept of psychological thrillers, in which – as with Hannah’s other novels – the psychosis lying just below the surface of the human personality is exposed . A remarkable novel, and an adventure to read . Undoubtedly a & rst-class whodunit that will keep you reading long into the night’ Scotsman ‘So convincing – and so unsettling. Hannah takes domestic scenarios, adds disquieting touches and turns up the suspense until you’re checking under the bed for murders’ Independent ‘Brilliantly pacy and penetrating’ Daily Mirror ‘Sophie Hannah has quickly established herself as a doyenne of the “home horror” school of psychological tension, taking domestic situations and wringing from them dark, gothic thrills . Combining probability theory, poetry and murder, this is a densely plotted suspenser with a coded puzzle that would grace a Golden Age mystery’ Financial Times ‘Enthralling complex . A multi-stranded narrative that grips’ Sunday Times ‘No one writes twisted, suspenseful novels quite like Sophie Hannah . unpredictable, unputdownable and unlike anything else you’ve read before’ Liane Moriarty, author of The Husband’s Secret ‘The queen of the ingenious plot twist’ Good Housekeeping 99780340980644780340980644 A RoomRoom SweptSwept WhiteWhite (487i)(487i) finalfinal pass.inddpass.indd i 330/09/20150/09/2015 10:31:3110:31:31 Also by Sophie Hannah Little Face Hurting Distance The Point of Rescue The Other Half Lives Lasting Damage Kind of Cruel The Carrier The Orphan Choir The Telling Error The Monogram Murders A Game for All the Family About the author Sophie Hannah is the internationally bestselling author of ten psychological thrillers, as well as The Monogram Murders, the & rst Hercule Poirot mystery to be published since Agatha Christie’s death and approved by her estate.

  • 9780340840320 Little Face (487I) Final Pass.Indd
    Praise for Little Face and Sophie Hannah ‘Women in peril it through the pages of traditional Gothic ction, murmuring “Had I but known!” as they fall for the wrong man, open the wrong door or apply for the wrong job. Sophie Hannah takes the trusty formula in both hands, gives it a vigorous shake and uses it to produce something fascinating and original in her novel. Beautifully written, the novel is outstandingly chilling – terror lurks in the half understood and in anticipation. Little Face is a hugely promising debut. Sophie Hannah is an author to watch’ Andrew Taylor, Spectator ‘This may well turn out to be the detective novel of the year . So develops a terrifying mystery of manipulation, counter-manipulation and, nally, astounding revelation – it’s a haunting story told with bewitching skill’ Scotsman ‘The genius of Hannah’s domestic thrillers – along with the twistiest plots known to woman – is that she creates ordinary people whose psychological quirks make them as monstrous as any serial killer’ Guardian ‘Hannah adapts to crime ction with arresting aplomb: her characters are vivid, the novel’s challenging double narrative is handled with air, and its denouement is ingenious’ The Sunday Times ‘The author is a poet by trade and she brings a wealth of psychological and literary subtlety to bear in this impressive novel. Smart and disarmingly unnerving’ Daily Mail ‘The queen of the ingenious plot twist’ Good Housekeeping 99780340840320780340840320 LittleLittle FaceFace (487i)(487i) finalfinal pass.inddpass.indd i 330/09/20150/09/2015 12:07:2612:07:26 Also by Sophie Hannah Hurting Distance The Point of Rescue The Other Half Lives A Room Swept White Lasting Damage Kind of Cruel The Carrier The Orphan Choir The Telling Error The Monogram Murders A Game for All the Family About the author Sophie Hannah is the internationally bestselling author of ten psychological thrillers, as well as The Monogram Murders, the rst Hercule Poirot mystery to be published since Agatha Christie’s death and approved by her estate.

    Closed Casket Ladda ner boken PDF Sophie Hannah Agatha Christie Closed Casket Sophie Hannah Agatha Christie boken PDF Hercule Poirot returns in another brilliant murder mystery that can only be solved by the eponymous Belgian detective and his `little grey cells'. `What I intend to say to you will come as a shock . .' Lady Athelinda Playford has planned a house party at her mansion in Clonakilty, County Cork, but it is no ordinary gathering. As guests arrive, Lady Playford summons her lawyer to make an urgent change to her will - one she intends to announce at dinner that night. She has decided to cut off her two children without a penny and leave her fortune to someone who has only weeks to live . Among Lady Playford's guests are two men she has never met - the famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, and Inspector Edward Catchpool of Scotland Yard. Neither knows why he has been invited . until Poirot starts to wonder if Lady Playford expects a murderer to strike. But why does she seem so determined to provoke, in the presence of a possible killer? When the crime is committed in spite of Poirot's best efforts to stop it, and the victim is not who he expected it to be, will he be able to find the culprit and solve the mystery? Following the phenomenal global success of The Monogram Murders, which was published to critical acclaim following a co-ordinated international launch in September 2014, international best-selling crime writer Sophie Hannah has been commissioned by Agatha Christie Limited to pen a second fully-authorised Poirot novel.

Correspondence should be addressed to Ellen Carter, Université de Strasbourg, 22 Rue René Descartes, 67084 Strasbourg CEDEX, France. https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9249-5298 Email: [email protected] Hercule Poirot, Mon (Faux) Ami 2 Abstract This corpus analysis investigates Agatha Christie’s use of discourse in the person of her fictional Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot. By focusing on a specific linguistic trait – false friends – it presents evidence of how Christie used this trait to develop Poirot’s character across his thirty- three novels. Moreover, it shows that this trait is almost completely absent from the four novels featuring Poirot written by Sophie Hannah, who was chosen by Christie’s estate to continue his adventures. Keywords: discourse analysis, corpus stylistics, false friends, Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot, Mon (Faux) Ami 3 Hercule Poirot, Mon (Faux) Ami: A Corpus Study on Agatha Christie’s Use of Language to Develop Character Corpora have been used to analyze various text types and targets, including discourse analysis (Baker & McEnery, 2015), corpus stylistics of speech presentation (Semino & Short, 2004), corpus stylistics of popular fiction (Mahlberg & McIntyre, 2011) and the process of characterization in fiction (Mahlberg, 2012).

  • Praise for the Carrier
    Praise for The Carrier ‘Do not think you have worked out where the plot is going and how it is going to end. Hannah is masterly at leading the reader down the wrong path and here she excels once again.’ Sunday Express ‘Another massively intriguing premise from Hannah, with plot threads that spin out in all kinds of unusual and surprising directions . A hugely confident, beautifully written and bold mystery . Another gripping triumph.’ Heat ‘This poet and crime writer again confirms in this, her eighth novel, her fluent writing skills, taste for complicated layers and deft hand with character, not to mention a knack for producing compelling openings. It is a mature work – full of confidence and intrigue.’ Daily Mail ‘A tale of the power that weakness and passivity can have over strength and action, and how theories of love and duty can lead us astray . Intriguing.’ Guardian ‘A leading writer of psychological suspense . her books are so distinctive that they deserve to be placed in a separate sub-genre of their own . as ever, Hannah excels.’ Spectator ‘It is brilliantly constructed, and it had me, screaming, on the edge of my chair’ Reader’s Digest ‘Such is the author’s command of the narrative, we . find ourselves glued to the page . Compelling.’ Daily Express ‘Highly original .

  • Feminist Revisions of the Sonnet in the Works of Patience Agbabi and Sophie Hannah
    ARTICLES WIELAND SCHWANEBECK Feminist Revisions of the Sonnet in the Works of Patience Agbabi and Sophie Hannah Without a doubt, the sonnet is the most well-known and "the longest-lived of all poetic forms" (Spiller 1992, 2). This is certainly true of the Anglophone world, where the sonnet has never completely gone out of fashion since the Shakespearean age and has, for the most part, managed to retain its trademark form of fourteen lines, as well as a few characteristic rhyme schemes and stanzaic arrangements. Yet it has also proven adaptable enough to accommodate rather diverse themes and agendas: The sonnet is often aimed at a desired and unattainable addressee and adopts the view- point of an amorous lyrical speaker. In other cases, it has mourned the passing of time and offered witty insight into current world events, lewd proposals, outstanding individuals, or even, in a famous example by Gilbert Keith Chesterton, the enduring quality of Stilton cheese ("Sonnet to a Stilton Cheese," [1912] 1957). So popular and indestructible is the sonnet that it even manages to absorb critique to form the 'anti- sonnet' as a distinct sub-genre. Authors as diverse as John Keats ("If by Dull Rhymes Our English Must Be Chained," [1819] 2001), Stephen Fry ("I Wrote a Bad Petrarchan Sonnet Once," 2005), or Robert Gernhardt ("Materialien zu einer Kritik der bekanntesten Gedichtform italienischen Ursprungs," 1981) have contributed humorous and memorable sonnets of this variety; Billy Collins's "Sonnet" (1999) simply counts down the lines ("All we need is fourteen lines, well, thirteen now, / and after this next one just a dozen") until the poet can "take off those crazy medieval tights" and "come at last to bed" (Collins [1999] 2001, 277).
