The Detective Novels of Agatha Christie: A Reader's GuideMcFarland & Company, Publishers, 2008 - Всего страниц: 442 The most popular mystery writer of all time concocted a rich recipe of intrigue, character, and setting. All of Agatha Christie s 66 detective novels are covered here in great detail. Each chapter begins with general comments on a novel s geographical and historical setting, identifying current events, fashions, fads and popular interests that relate to the story. A concise plot summary and comprehensive character listing follow, and each novel is discussed within Christie s overall body of work, with an emphasis on the development of themes, narrative technique, and characters over the course of her prolific career. An appendix translates Poirot s French and defines the British idiomatic words and phrases that give Christie s novels so much of their flavor." |
