Reading
Agatha Christie

With a writing career spanning more than five decades, Agatha Christie (1890–1976) remains one of the best-selling authors of all time. Her stories are at once timeless – as Miss Marple would observe, ‘human nature, being what it is’ – and yet beautifully of their age, enveloping the cultural, social and political milieu of the eras in which they were written. Perceptive, witty and page-turning, these books capture readers again and again, compelling us to get lost in a world of sleuthing.
