Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Agatha Christie: A Reader's Companion

Book Review: A must-have for all Christie fans
Summary: 5 Stars

This beautiful hard back is a summary of all the books ever written by Agatha Christie, in chronological order. Each summary includes the book background: any relevant facts from Agatha Christie's life and how she was inspired to write the story; the storyline (but the plot and who dunnit is *never* revealed!), and, for the collectors, pictures and descriptions of the original first edition book and jacket. There are also reviews from the time of first publishing and a mine of interesting period photos.

I already know quite a lot about Agatha Christie's life and her writings, but I learnt even more thanks to this wonderful book. The delightful pictures in particular are very good to help one visualise the era for each story and to put everything in context.
This is definitely recommended to any Christie fan or to anyone who wants to know more about the first lady of crime but who doesn't want to read her (sometimes dreary) autobiography.
