Follow the clues, mon ami, as we use our little grey cells to reveal the life and motives of Agatha Christie, the world’s best-selling novelist. What really made the Queen of Crime tick?
Andy Hotels pieces together the truth about the woman behind the books – the privileged childhood shadowed by a lost fortune, her wartime work with poisons, the unconventional marriage and the affair that would change everything. The evidence is waiting to be discovered.
Along the way, uncover the real-life stories behind Poirot, Miss Marple and The Mousetrap and explore how her books have been transformed for stage and screen. But we must proceed with caution as there is more here than meets the eye – insights into Christie’s character, her travels and the woman behind the public image.
This is not simply a tour of Christie locations. Mais non, it is the little things that matter! This is a Christie mystery in which the subject is the writer herself.
