Agatha Christie by Janet Morgan

Agatha Christie by Janet Morgan

Janet Morgans definitive and authorised biography of Agatha Christie, with a new retrospective foreword by the author.

‘A masterly an gripping biography … Janet Morgan’s study has merits far beyond merely keeping the faithful in touch with their vanished priestess’
ANTONIA FRASER, STANDARD

‘From it cool, beautifully paced and consistently entertaining narrative one gets a clear view of Christie’s career and personality.’
ROBERT BARNARD, TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

‘It lays, once and for all, the malicious rumours and vulgar gossip put about by other writers on the subject of Agatha Christie’s ten days’ disappearance in 1926, providing an authoritative, as well as authorised, explanation for the event.’
T.J. BINYON, LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS

‘Leaves not a stone unturned in the day to day doings of Mrs Christie; eighty-six years of bric-a-brac, people incidents houses, places, bills and interminable contract and copyright deals.’
POLLY TOYNBEE, GUARDIAN
