New York, NY — June 12, 2026 — Before Agatha Christie became the most famous mystery writer in the world, she began by turning country houses, railway journeys, missing identities, and apparently ordinary objects into engines of suspense. Enigma, the crime-fiction imprint of Casa Carlini, now presents a new series of Agatha Christie editions led by The Mysterious Affair at Styles, The Murder on the Links, The Man in the Brown Suit, and The Seven Dials Mystery, with other titles to follow from the Casa Carlini list, including The Big Four and Poirot Investigates.
Born in 1890, Christie reshaped detective fiction through her unmatched skill at misdirection, timing, and revelation, creating mysteries that feel both ingeniously mechanical and intensely readable. The Mysterious Affair at Styles, published in 1920, introduced Hercule Poirot; The Murder on the Links expanded his world; The Man in the Brown Suit blended murder with adventure and romance; and The Seven Dials Mystery brought Christie’s wit and plotting into a livelier, more conspiratorial register. Together, these books capture the early range of a writer who could move effortlessly from drawing-room puzzle to international intrigue while keeping readers one step behind the truth.
This new Enigma series returns to Christie at the moment her signature world was taking shape: poisoned inheritance, suspicious timetables, cryptic clues, and the quiet thrill of watching intelligence restore order to apparent chaos. It also reflects Casa Carlini’s broader commitment to bringing classic crime fiction back into circulation in handsome, contemporary editions.
The covers for this series were designed by Brandon Jones, a graphic design student at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Across the initial titles, Jones uses a restrained cream ground, Christie’s name in sweeping script, and a single enlarged visual clue or figure to anchor each design: the looming façade of Styles Court for The Mysterious Affair at Styles, a knife blade for The Murder on the Links, a giant pocket watch for The Seven Dials Mystery, and the retreating silhouette of a suited man for The Man in the Brown Suit. The result is a unified visual identity that feels clean, clever, and suspenseful, translating Christie’s gift for elegant menace into graphic form.
“Agatha Christie understood that terror does not need excess—it only needs precision,” said Charles Carlini, founder of Casa Carlini. “A stain, a timetable, a missing person, a room gone suddenly quiet: from those elements she built an entire imaginative universe. These editions are meant to restore the freshness and danger of that achievement.”
More than comforting puzzles, Christie’s early novels remain master classes in narrative control, where every object may matter and every conversation may conceal a trap. With this new Enigma series, Casa Carlini invites readers back to the scenes of the crime—and to the writer who made suspicion an art form.
The Agatha Christie editions from Enigma are available now through Casa Carlini, major booksellers, and Amazon.
