An informed, engaging and accessible introduction to the Christie phenomenon, examining all her novels and short stories, aupdated to include new material on all recent film, TV and literary adaptations.

 

Since her debut in 1920 withThe Mysterious Affair At Styles, Agatha Christie has become the chief proponent of the nglish village murder mystery. Although she created two enormously popular characters - the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, and the inquisitive elderly spinster and amateur sleuth Miss Jane Marple of St Mary Mead - it is not generally acknowledged that she wrote in many different genres: comic mysteries (Why Didn't They Ask Evans?), atmospheric whodunnits (Murder On The Orient Express), espionage thrillers (N or M?), romances (under the pseudonym of Mary Westmacott), plays (The Mousetrap) and poetry. She was never afraid to break the rules either, and provoked a storm of controversy with the unorthodox resolution ofThe Murder Of Roger Ackroyd, now acclaimed as one of the classics of British crime fiction.
