A brilliant and award winning biographer, Laura Thompson now turns her sharp eye to Agatha Christie. Arguably the greatest crime writer in the world, Christie's books still sell over four million copies each year--more than thirty years after her death--and it shows no signs of slowing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut who was the woman behind these mystifying, yet eternally pleasing, puzzlers? Thompson reveals the Edwardian world in which Christie grew up, explores her relationships, including those with her two husbands and daughter, and investigates the many mysteries still surrounding Christie's life, most notably, her eleven-day disappearance in 1926. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAgatha Christie is as mysterious as the stories she penned, and writing about her is a detection job in itself. With unprecedented access to all of Christie's letters, papers, and notebooks, as well as fresh and insightful interviews with her grandson, daughter, son-in-law and their living relations, Thompson is able to unravel not only the detailed workings of Christie's detective fiction, but the truth behind this mysterious woman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681776537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681776538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pegasus Crime\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2018 pg. 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/23\/2018","brand":"Laura Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44046585200895,"sku":"9781681776538","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01b229bb-f6f3-412b-aa85-0621218d9046.jpg?v=1684985373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/agatha-christie-laura-thompson-9781681776538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
