An example of a cover. This is from the 13th volume. The illustrator tried hard not to give away any spoilers so the connection of the motifs to the plots are sometimes quite subtle.

The Agatha Christie Crime Collection is a collectors series of omnibus volumes issued by Paul Hamlyn between 1969 and 1972. The series covered all of Agatha Christie's crime/thriller novels and short story collections (excluding those not published at the time of issue). In all there were 24 volumes, each volume being an omnibus of three titles. Each of the octavo sized hardcover volumes came with a dustjacket with illustrations of motifs or artefacts in the stories within. The volumes were issued to subscribers and were not available for sale in shops. The same collection was issued by Lansdowne Press in Australia a few years later and this extended to several editions into the 1980s.
