Non-Fiction Biography
As he did in the Edgar®-nominated and Agatha, Anthony, and
Macavity Awards–winning Agatha Christie's Secret
Notebooks, Christie expert and archivist John Curran
once again examines the unpublished notebooks of the world's
bestselling author to explore the techniques she used to
surprise and entertain generations of readers. Drawing
on Christie's personal papers and letters, he reveals how
more than twenty of her novels, as well as stage scripts,
short stories, and some more personal items, evolved. Here
are wonderful gems, including Christie's essay on her famous
detective, Hercule Poirot, written for a British national
newspaper in the 1930s; a previously unseen version of a
"Miss Marple" short story; and a courtroom chapter from her
first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, which
was edited out of the published version in 1920; plus an
insightful, well-reasoned analysis of her final unfinished
novel, based on the author's notes and Curran's own deep
knowledge of Christie and her work. A must-read for
every Christie aficionado, Agatha Christie: Murder in the
Making is a fascinating look into the mind and craft of
one of the world's most prolific and beloved authors.
