Agatha Christie: The Finished Portrait

Agatha Christie: The Finished Portrait by Dr Andrew Norman examines the life and work of Agatha Christie, one of the best-known writers of detective fiction. The biography looks beyond the familiar titles and fictional detectives to consider the person behind the stories, drawing on biographical context and discussion of her literary career. It provides a way for readers to explore how a writer's life and times can inform an understanding of the work.

Christie's career spanned a wide range of mysteries and memorable characters, and her writing helped shape the expectations of modern detective stories. A biography offers a different kind of reading from her novels: instead of following a fictional investigation, readers can learn about her life, her creative work and the enduring appeal of her books. The volume may be particularly interesting to readers who have enjoyed Christie’s mysteries and want to know more about the author.
