Agatha Christie
English · 1890–1976
About the Author
Agatha Christie remains the great architect of the puzzle mystery. Her genius was not only in inventing crimes, but in arranging suspicion with almost musical precision: a closed circle of suspects, a clue placed in plain sight, a social setting full of small lies, and a final revelation that makes the whole design click into place. Poirot and Miss Marple endure because Christie understood both plot and human weakness.
Where to Start
Start with And Then There Were None for the purest high-concept Christie, or Murder on the Orient Express for Poirot at his most iconic. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is essential once you are ready for her boldest trick.
