Bumped corners. Over the three decades since her death on 12 January 1976, many of Agatha Christies readers and reviewers have maintained that her most compelling book is probably still her least well-known. Creased spine and bumped ends. But although she lived to a great age and was prolific, she remained elusively shy and determinedly private. Agatha Christie’s ‘most absorbing mystery’ – her own autobiography. From early childhood at the end of the 19th century, through two marriages and two World Wars, and her experiences both as a writer and on archaeological expeditions with her second husband, Max Mallowan, Agatha shares the details of her varied and sometimes complex life with real passion and openness.
