Meet the Author

Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie is nearly synonymous with upper-class British mysteries, for good reason. She set the standard for the genre in over 60 novels and dozens of short stories, also creating two classic detectives: the fastidious Belgian, Hercule Poirot, and English spinster Jane Marple. No one could match Christie's knack for weaving clues into her stories, then turning the whole thing inside out -- shocking her readers every time.

Biography

Agatha Christie is the world's best-known mystery writer. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language, and another billion in 44 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her writing career spanned more than half a century, during which she wrote 79 novels and a short story collection, as well as 14 plays, one of which, The Mousetrap, is the longest running play in history. Two of the characters she created, the brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the irrepressible and relentless Miss Marple, went on to become world famous detectives. Both have been widely dramatized in feature films and made-for-TV movies. Agatha Christie died in 1976.

    Marvellous

    As a gigantic Agatha Christie fan (this was my 29th Christie), I naturally entered into "Mrs. McGinty's Dead" with high expectations. These expectations were greatly satisfied. This is one of her novels that focuses on a particular village rather than one particular househole (much like "The A.B.C. Murders"), and she does a remarkable jod of portraying rural English life. The book contains eveything that all of her really good stories do:a murder(naturally!), a village crawling with suspects, several clues, several red herrings, and an intense feeling of mystique. I recommend "Mrs. McGinty's Dead" to any of Mrs. Christie-Mallowan's many fans.

    Agatha at her best

    Excellent book. This was a real page turner I couldn't put it down. It was a real mystery I just couldn't wait for Poirot to let me in on 'whodunnit'. If you like other Christie books you will love this and if you like the Poirot character this is definitely a must read.
