🔍 Agatha Christie is often remembered for her mysterious 11-day disappearance, but there’s so much more to her story. From her early struggles as a writer to her rise as the best-selling fiction author of all time, Christie’s life was as interesting as her novels.
☠️ In this episode, I explore how her wartime experience* contributed to her mystery writing and how her travel influenced her settings.
✨ Join me as I uncover the full story of the Queen of Crime.
Where to start with Christie? I recommend:
- For a country house mystery: The Mysterious Affair at Styles
- For an English village mystery: The Moving Finger
- For a 1920s mystery/romance with a dash of thriller: The Secret Adversary
