One of Christie's favorites among her works, Endless Night was first published in the U.K. by the Collins Crime Club on October 30, 1967 and in the U.S. by Dodd, Mead and Company the following year. The work received some of the warmest critical reviews of Christies career upon publication. "The old maestrina of the crime-novel (or whatever is the female of 'maestro') pulls yet another out of her inexhaustible bag with Endless Night, quite different in tone from her usual work. It is impossible to say much about the story without giving away vital secrets: sufficient to warn the reader that if he should think this is a romance he couldn't be more mistaken, and the crashing, not to say horrific suspense at the end is perhaps the most devastating that this surpriseful author has ever brought off" (Francis Iles, The Guardian).
