Recommended Author Agatha Christie


It is difficult to believe that people do not know who Agatha Christie is but I suppose over the passing of time since her death that people no longer know who she is? She started writing in England in the early 1920's with her first novel the Mysterious Affair at Styles. This writing carried on through to the 1970's. Her books were wonderful mysteries set in country houses, boats etc and usually in the upper classes of society. Mainly a time that has since passed.

 

Her two main detectives Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple both very different but both with puzzles to sort out. Wonderful books to read, puzzles to keep you guessing right to the last page. Well written and some classics of their genre such as Murder on the Orient Express and the Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Many of her books have been made into films too.

 

If you have not read any Agatha Christie then you are not a mystery reader!
