Marking the 125th anniversary of Agatha Christie’s birth, this new edition offers an informed introductin to the chief proponent of the English 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 Agatha Christie wrote in many different genres: comic mysteries (Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?), atmospheric whodunits (Murder On The Orient Express), espionage thrillers (N or M?), romances (under the pseudonym of Mary Westmacott), plays (The Mousetrap) and poetry. This guide examines all of Christie’s novels and short stories and lists the various TV and film adaptations of her works.
