It’s Agatha Christie Time

Funny thing about mystery writers. Their real lives are often mysteries of their own. Agatha Christie is no exception. Multiple movies have hypothesized and dramatized her missing days. There’s even a Dr. Who episode about them. It’s time to meet the grand madam of mystery, Agatha Christie, and her big-time murders in small-town settings.

While there are many other amazing mystery authors, Agatha Christie trumps all of them in sales and popularity. Her story beats are clear and recognizable. Her twists are fun, expected, and yet relatable. Making her one of the best authors to dissect and discover on the journey to writing your own murder mysteries.

Have fun discovering Agatha Christie’s world of clues and conspiracies.
