Reviews
"Writing and compiling an encyclopedic companion about the 'Queen of Crime' is no small feat. Bernthal with series editor Foxwell have researched and compiled an impressive companion to Agatha Christie's oeuvre. ... Avid mystery readers will likely enjoy perusing this work, and researchers will appreciate how thorough it is. The author and editor have accomplished something unique: a reference work that is approachable and accessible for library workers, scholars, and general readers. ... This volume is well-researched, not to mention thorough and well-presented. Given the breadth of Christie's life and work, it would be a worthwhile addition to an academic or public library collection."-- Library Journal, "A thorough, wide-ranging guide to this popular writer--who was 'outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare' (p. 1)--and her full oeuvre along with her life and career influences. The style is approachable, and contentious issues such as anti-Semitism are addressed. A helpful annotated bibliography and an index conclude this impressively detailed compendium. It will be useful for fans of mysteries and Christie trivia as well as academic researchers....highly recommended"-- Choice

Synopsis
Summarizes and explores Agatha Christie's entire literary output, including the detective fiction, plays, radio dramas, adaptations, and her little-studied non-crime writing. The book details all published works and key themes and characters, as well as the people and places that inspired them., The undisputed "Queen of Crime," Dame Agatha Christie (1890-1976) is the bestselling novelist of all time. As the creator of immortal detectives Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple, she continues to enthrall readers around the world and is drawing increasing attention from scholars, historians, and critics. But Christie wrote far beyond Poirot and Marple. A varied life including war work, archaeology, and two very different marriages provided the backdrop to a diverse body of work. This encyclopedic companion summarizes and explores Christie's entire literary output, including the detective fiction, plays, radio dramas, adaptations, and her little-studied non-crime writing. It details all published works and key themes and characters, as well as the people and places that inspired them, and identifies a trove of uncollected interviews, articles, and unpublished material, including details that have never appeared in print. For the casual reader looking for background information on their favorite mystery to the dedicated scholar tracking down elusive new angles, this companion will provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date information.

    Overall, it went well. Good communication. I wanted the book to be shipped in a box, because the value and scarcity of the volume I purchased deserved it, however, the company is too large and I was informed the book would be shipped in a plastic mailer. Somehow it didn’t arrive very damaged, a little bump, but for the price I can’t complain. Over all I am satisfied, but if you’re a book collector, as I am, you may want to find another seller.
