Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie: A Reader's Companion | Vanessa Wagstaff
1 post | 1 to read
Other crime writers may come and go, but Agatha Christie maintains her enduring appeal, and for her millions of fans, this book is the next best thing to a new Christie novel. The authors have assembled a mouthwatering feast of period memorabiliajackets and bindings of first editions from both sides of the Atlantic, stills from films and television series, photographs of the places and buildings that Christie used as settings for her stories, reviews and magazine featuresall of which transports the reader back into the world inhabited by Christie and her characters. Each of her novels is discussed in the order of its publication, with a plot summary, background information on Christies own life at the time the book was written, an account of its critical reception, and details of subsequent films and TV series. The reader is thus able to trace Christies career as an author, and the way in which her detectives were introduced and developed, while following, in parallel, her own life and travels.

Abney Hall was the country #estate of the Watts family. Marjorie Miller married James Watts, and they made their home there. A frequent guest was Marjorie's younger sister, Agatha Miller Christie. Estates in her novels, such as Styles and Chimneys, were patterned off the Abney mansion.
