Book Summary 

A Brief Guide to Agatha Christie is a concise literary biography and companion that introduces readers to the life, work, and legacy of Agatha Christie, one of the bestselling authors in history. The book covers Christie’s remarkable career — from her first detective novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles to her final Miss Marple mystery Sleeping Murder — and examines her more than 80 novels and short-story collections, which have sold billions of copies worldwide. Author Nigel Cawthorne also explores Christie’s personal life, including her service as a nurse during World War I, her infamous disappearance after her first marriage ended, and her travels with her second husband, archaeologist Max Mallowan. In addition, the book provides profiles of Christie’s iconic characters like Hercule Poirot, his friends and adversaries, and other recurring figures, and looks at how her stories have been adapted for stage and screen, especially the long-running Poirot television series.
