Publisher's Summary
Meet Agatha Christie, the best-selling novelist in human history. Her writing career spanned six decades, during which time she wrote 66 crime novels, 6 non-crime novels (including romances), and over 150 short stories. Not only was she a phenomenally successful novelist, but she is also the most successful female playwright of all time - her play “The Mousetrap” is the longest-running show in history.
As you learn about Christie’s experiences and her storied career, you will better understand how the circumstances of her life shaped her work and vice versa. Along the way, consider some fascinating questions:
- How did becoming a nurse and an apothecary’s assistant influence her crime stories?
- Would her literary career have been different if she had not been a part of well-to-do British society?
- Why did Christie disappear at the height of her fame - and will we ever know the whole truth about that fateful event?
Agatha Christie’s works have been read by millions and have been adapted into film, television, plays, and more since her debut novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, introduced the world to Hercule Poirot in 1920. Her famous detectives, Poirot and Miss Marple, have become beloved staples of pop culture around the world. With such a legacy, it can sometimes be surprising how much of her life remains a mystery to her readers. In The Mysterious Case of Agatha Christie, you will get an intimate glimpse of her private life, investigate the secrets of her greatest novels, and perhaps solve a few mysteries yourself.

Investigating the life of the Master Crime Author
Reading the crime stories of Ms. Marple and Hercule Poirot was the staple diet during my childhood days, and I'm thankful my school library had a huge set to choose from. Hence it was intriguing to learn about the personal life of the author herself and how her experiences consciously or subconsciously made through the plots of her novels.
This is quite a well researched biography and the narrator's voice is distinct and clear - for which one goes from one chapter to another with interest and eager.
