Agatha Christie Stamps Complete with Clues

It has been one hundred years since Agatha Christie wrote her first novel and to celebrate the Royal Mail have designed stamps in her honour. Now, I am not a stamp collector and would normally gloss over this type of news, but these are not any ordinary stamp.

These are very clever and designed by Jim Sutherland. Take a look at the stamps below. They are too a mystery and contain clues in microtext, UV ink and thermochromic ink. I like them so much that I am going to order a set and frame it. The artwork is brilliant and it makes want to read more Agatha Christie. The Special Stamps depict key scenes and principal characters from six iconic novels:

Murder on the Orient Express
The Mysterious Affair at Styles
The Body in the Library
And Then There Were None
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
A Murder is Announced
