Histoire
This collection of 25 Hercule Poirot adventures is compiled from short stories written by Agatha Christie for The Sketch magazine in 1923 from March to December. In these stories, including "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim", "The Veiled Lady", and "The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb", the eccentric private detective slowly and surely solves mysteries involving jealousy, revenge, and greed. These stories were well-received at the time and cemented Christie's reputation as the worthy successor to Arthur Conan Doyle.

The Plantagenet queens of England played a role in some of the most dramatic events in our history. Crusading queens, queens in rebellion against their king, queen seductresses, learned queens, queens in battle, queens who enlivened England with the romantic culture of southern Europe - these determined women often broke through medieval constraints to exercise power and influence, for good and sometimes for ill.

Description
'Nobody in the world was more inadequate to act the heroine than I was.'
Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was 'just' an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? As Lucy Worsley says, 'She was thrillingly, scintillatingly modern'. She went surfing in Hawaii, she loved fast cars, and she was intrigued by the new science of psychology, which helped her through devastating mental illness.
So why - despite all the evidence to the contrary - did Agatha present herself as a retiring Edwardian lady of leisure?
She was born in 1890 into a world which had its own rules about what women could and couldn't do. Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of an internationally renowned bestselling writer. It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman.
With access to personal letters and papers that have rarely been seen, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realise what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was - truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.
Ce que les critiques en disent
'Paint(s) an intriguing picture of Christie.' - Guardian
'Ms Worsley herself writes engagingly... She combines an almost militant support for her subject with a considered analysis of her books and plays.' - Economist
'Admirably scrupulous' - New York Times

A crossover made in heaven
Lucy Worsley is one of the greatest tv presenters today and has captured me and taught me so much about British history, so to have her telling me about one of my favourite authors is a match made by the gods. Worsley brings her charm and story telling prowess to this fascinating life of a legendary writer while being nuanced about the more difficult aspects of examining a time gone by. Top notch, SO glad to have the author narrate such great work.

Life as Interesting as Art
Christie is that uncommon writer of fiction whose own life was just as or even more fascinating than her books. Her carefully constructed stereotypical facade hid an amazing and unconventional reality. Lucy Worsley tells us the story of Christie's real adventures in her usual clear and engaging prose. And how charming to listen to Worsley herself - a talented narrator. Enjoy!
