A review by louisemarley
Agatha Christie: First Lady of Crime by H.R.F. Keating, Sophie Hannah

3.0

This was very hit and miss. It started well. There were some 5* essays, about Agatha's writing style and writing method, and analysing her huge success. Other essays were written by people who obviously didn't like her, who never considered that her 'simplistic' writing style and lack of long descriptive passages might have been deliberate!

This anthology was originally written/published in the late 70s, meaning that the most recent TV adaptations and films were not mentioned; most of those that were, I'd never heard of.

The foreword by Sophie Hannah was excellent though!
