Book excerpt: Marking the 125th anniversary of Agatha Christie's birth, this new edition offers an informed introductin to the chief proponent of the English village murder mystery. Although she created two enormously popular characters - the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, and the inquisitive elderly spinster and amateur sleuth Miss Jane Marple of St Mary Mead - it is not generally acknowledged that Agatha Christie wrote in many different genres: comic mysteries (Why Didn't They Ask Evans?), atmospheric whodunits (Murder On The Orient Express), espionage thrillers (N or M?), romances (under the pseudonym of Mary Westmacott), plays (The Mousetrap) and poetry. This guide examines all of Christie's novels and short stories and lists the various TV and film adaptations of her works.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The fingerprint, with its distinctive pattern of lines and curves, has become a universal embodiment of crime. It is a pattern so characteristic and specific, it can tell a story almost without the need for explanation. #2 The Detection Club, which was founded in 1930, was open to both women and men, but it was only writers of detection fiction who were allowed to join. Christie was president from 1957 until her death in 1976. #3 The Detection Club was a group of crime fiction writers who met to discuss their craft and collaborate on books and radio broadcasts. It was an important resource for Christie going forward, as it allowed her to converse with other writers about crime and fiction from the early stages of her career. #4 The purpose of ridge detail on the fingertips is simply to provide some mammals with friction on smooth surfaces. However, the patterns created as a by-product have become one of the best forensic identifiers.

Download and Read Shakespearean Allusion in Crime Fiction PDF by Lisa Hopkins Full Book and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-21 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores why crime fiction so often alludes to Shakespeare. It ranges widely over a variety of authors including classic golden age crime writers such as the four ‘queens of crime’ (Allingham, Christie, Marsh, Sayers), Nicholas Blake and Edmund Crispin, as well as more recent authors such as Reginald Hill, Kate Atkinson and Val McDermid. It also looks at the fondness for Shakespearean allusion in a number of television crime series, most notably Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse and Lewis, and considers the special sub-genre of detective stories in which a lost Shakespeare play is found. It shows how Shakespeare facilitates discussions about what constitutes justice, what authorises the detective to track down the villain, who owns the countryside, national and social identities, and the question of how we measure cultural value.

This book was released on 2022-11-12 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agatha Christie and the Guilty Pleasure of Poison examines Christie’s female poisoners in the context of Christie’s own experience in pharmacy and of detective fiction. In doing so, it uncovers an overlooked dynamic in which female poisoners deliver well-deserved comeuppance for gendered and classed wrongdoing ordinarily accepted in everyday life. While critics have long recognized male outlaws, like Robin Hood, who use crime to oppose a corrupt system, this book contends that female outlaws – witches and poisoners – offer a similar heritage of empowered femininity. Far from cozy and formulaic, Agatha Christie’s outlaw poisoners offer readers the surprising pleasures of comeuppance, and they set the stage for contemporary detective fiction writers, more recent films depicting poisoning as empowering, and even poison gardens, which are tourist destinations that offer visitors the guilty pleasure of poison.
