I’m much more likely to find myself browsing the fiction sections at any bookshop or library, but when I was gifted Lucy Worsley’s Agatha Christie biography for my birthday, I knew I’d be packing it for my summer holiday reading.

I’ve always enjoyed Worsley’s historical documentaries, so an entire book by her focused on the life and work of the Queen of Crime… well, that was a real treat! I even found myself slowing right down while reading so I could hear Worsley’s voice in my head, which only added to the enjoyment.

The biography covers her entire life, focusing not just on Christie herself, but the people and society around her. We explore her family and early life; her marriages and work during the wars; the creation of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple; her thrillers and writing as Mary Westmacott; her mysterious disappearance in 1926; her travels and her interest in archaeology; her many houses and tax dramas; her relationships with her daughter, grandson, agents, publishers, and the public; her work as a playwright; and everything else i

Begun in 1950 and eventually completed in 1965, Agatha Christie recounts her life from early childhood until the end of the memoir’s composition. The book came about from her reluctance to let others tell her story, as she explained to her agent Edmund Cork of Hughes Massie. Aware that the prospect was now inevitable, Agatha Christie took it upon herself to have the first word, although insisted that the book should not be published until after her death.

The best thing she has ever written.

After Agatha Christie passed away in 1976, the manuscript was edited by her long-standing publishers Collins and her only daughter, Rosalind Hicks and her husband Anthony. As a result the narrative ends in 1966, and does not include some of Christie’s later achievements such as her DBE in 1971 or the success of the 1974 film of Murder on the Orient Express.

While there have been films inspired by specific events in Christie’s life, such as Agatha (1979) and the Doctor Who episode The Unicorn and the Wasp (2008), none of these are true adaptations of her autobiography.

Agatha Christie bibliography

Agatha Christie (1890–1976) was an English crime novelist, short-story writer and playwright. Her reputation rests on 66 detective novels and 15 short-story collections that have sold over two billion copies, an amount surpassed only by the Bible and the works of William Shakespeare.^[1] She is also the most translated individual author in the world with her books having been translated into more than 100 languages.^[2]^[3] Her works contain several regular characters with whom the public became familiar, including Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, Parker Pyne and Harley Quin.^[1] Christie wrote more Poirot stories than any of the others, even though she thought the character to be "rather insufferable". Following the publication of the 1975 novel Curtain, Poirot's obituary appeared on the front page of The New York Times.^[5]^[6]
