Agatha Christie
The undisputed 'Queen of Crime,' Dame Agatha Christie (1890-1976) is the bestselling novelist of all time. As the creator of immortal detectives Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple, she continues to enthrall readers around the world and is drawing increasing attention from scholars, historians, and critics.

It details all published works and key themes and characters, as well as the people and places that inspired them, and identifies a trove of uncollected interviews, articles, and unpublished material, including details that have never appeared in print.

Agatha Christie
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Agatha Christie is a global bestseller. Her work has been translated into over 100 languages and adapted for stage and screen. Christie's writing life ran from 1920 to the 1970s, and she didn't just write puzzles, she wrote plays, supernatural stories, thrillers, satires, and domestic noir. She also commented obliquely but perceptively on the social and cultural changes of a troubled century. Christie's work tells the story of a changing Britain, but perhaps her greatest achievement is not to be limited by that national context. Her stories achieve the rare feat of appearing both universal and specific and can seemingly be adapted for almost any context. This Very Short Introduction investigates why the novels of a middle-class, middlebrow Englishwoman were so successful, and why they continue to appeal to such a broad range of readers. Chapters explore the context of Christie's writing, and the clue-puzzle detective fiction

Agatha Christien arvoitus, E-bok
Jännittävä tulkinta yhdestä kirjallisuushistorian tunnetuimmasta mysteeristä: Agatha Christien salaperäinen 11 päivän katoaminen vuonna 1926Joulukuu, 1926. Maailmanmenestyksen kynnyksellä oleva kirjailija Agatha Christie katoaa jäljettömiin. Rikostutkijat löytävät hänen tyhjän autonsa syvän ja synkän lammen rannalta. Ainoat jäljet ovat renkaanjäljet sekä autoon jätetty turkistakki, mikä vaikuttaa oudolta kylmänä yönä. Agathan aviomies ja tytär eivät tiedä mitään hänen olinpaikastaan, ja niin Englannissa käynnistyy ennennäkemättömän laaja etsintä, jota myös media seuraa herkeämättä.Yksitoista päivää myöhemmin Agatha palaa takaisin yhtä salaperäisesti kuin katosikin. Selitykseksi hän kertoo muistinmenetyksen – ei mitään muuta. Nuo yksitoista päivää ovat pysyneet arvoituksena näihin päiviin asti.Marie Benedictin teos vie lukijan matkalle 1920-luvun Englantiin. Christien sisäiseen maailmaan ja paljastaa uuden näkökulman yhteen kirjallisuushistorian kiehtovimmista mysteereistä. Mikä on totta, ja mikä ei? Mikä osuus tapahtumiin oli Agathan aviomiehellä, ja mitä hän jätti kertomatta rikostutkijoille?Agatha Christien nokkelien ja mestarillisten romaanien suosio on ollut vankkumaton lähes vuosisadan, mutta tämä tarina on ehkä edelleen hänen kaikkein suurin arvoituksensa.
