Agatha Christie's Detective Novels Edited for Sensitivity Readers.
TL;DR
Publisher HarperCollins has edited some passages and removed others from its new digital editions of Agatha Christie's detective mysteries featuring Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple to remove racist references and other language considered offensive to modern audiences. Changes include removing references to a character's Jewish identity and replacing the word "native" with "local." The move follows similar revisions made to Roald Dahl's classic children's books, which divided fans.
