Book Reviews of The Complete Christie: An Agatha Christie Encyclopedia

Book Review: Great Guide With No Story Spoilers
Summary: 4 Stars

A very straight-forward guide to the characters and stories of Agatha Christie. One of the best things about this book is that it does not spoil any of the mysteries. Plots are briefly recapped and characters lightly sketched, but the endings are never revealed. One or two character entries might provide clues as to "who done it," but other than that, this is a great book.

  • a comprehensive biography of Christie, including new theories on her strange disappearance in 1926
  • plot synopses that offer colorful capsules of the stories (without giving away the solutions!)
  • A-to-Z entries on characters from vicars to butlers, police sergeants to maids, each cross-referenced to the story or novel
  • detailed listings of all films, television programs, radio shows, and documentaries of Christie and her works
  • up-to-date entries on the most recent releases of previously unpublished Christie writings
  • sixty illustrations, including book covers, shots from movies, and stage productions. Whether you've read every title in the giant Christie canon, or are just discovering her writing, The Complete Christie reveals in delectable detail why the mystique, fascination, and brainteasing fun of the mysteries penned by the century's most successful writing remain forever undiminished.
