Book Reviews of Agatha Christie A to Z: The Essential Reference to Her Life & Writings (The Literary a to Z Series)
Book Review: Warning: this book tells you "Whodunnit"
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is a comprehensive guide to every Agatha Christie novel and short story, with complete plotlines -- including the solutions. It also includes an entry for almost every character that appears, though often this is simply of the form "X: Character in Murder on the Orient Express", which seems of little value. The entries on the writings do not include any critical analysis, and very broader information such as publishing history, or to put them into the context of Christie's life. This book contains nothing that you could not find out by reading the books themselves.
