Agatha Christie’s life and career told through the decades, from
the never-before-published original ending to her first book to the
unused ideas for her last, complete with two unpublished Agatha
Christie stories - including a lost Miss Marple. In this follow-up
volume to the acclaimed Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks,
Christie archivist and expert John Curran leads the reader through
the six decades of Agatha Christie's writing career, unearthing
some remarkable clues to her success and a number of
never-before-published excerpts and stories from her archives.
Starting his investigation in the 1920s, John Curran examines the
conventions of detective novels as they existed then and how Agatha
Christie's publisher talked her into changing the ending of her
very first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, a move that
almost certainly changed the fortunes of not only her career but
the future of the whole crime writing genre. For the very first
time, this book prints Agatha's original ending, painstakingly
transcribed from her notebooks.
