agatha christie murder of roger ackroyd
Who is a fan of agatha christie and why? or not?

I would also like to know how many fans are teenagers, like me, because most people I found reading Agatha Christie are the elderly. Also, what was your favorite book? I like Agatha b / c – writer awesome and I never know the culprit, I keep getting hang – Poirot is so adorable! Best in my book – The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (totally surprised!)

I read almost every book she wrote. I love Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Hercule Poirot is my favorite but. Love his books, because you do not know "Who is guilty" to the end. Some of my favorites are "Murder on the Orient Express", "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (I agree, it was a total surprise!) "Ten Little Indians (also known as" There Were None And Then ") but I really like all his books. Halloween Party is another book which is very good. Another reason I love his books because you can still read and again and still enjoy books. I love Hercule Poirot's "little gray cells!" Nemesis "is a good Miss Marple story as" this Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw (also known as "4:50 From Paddington"). Tommy and Tuppence Beresford are good, but they are not my favorite detectives, nor are "Parker Payne, Harley Quinn and Oliver Ariane. I also like Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple series! Here's a good link about agatha christie. LOL, now I need to go read one of his books. AH

Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks


Agatha Christie’s Secret Notebooks


$12.99


A fascinating exploration of the contents of Agatha Christie’s seventy-three private notebooks, including illustrations and two unpublished Poirot stories When Agatha Christie died in 1976, at age eighty-five, she had become the world’s most popular author. With sales of more than two billion copies worldwide, in more than one hundred countries, she had achieved the impossible—more than one book every year since the 1920s, every one a bestseller. So prolific was Agatha Christie’s output—sixty-six crime novels, twenty plays, six romance novels under a pseudonym and more than one hundred and fifty short stories—it was often claimed that she had a photographic memory. Was this true? Or did she resort over those fifty-five years to more mundane methods of working out her ingenious crimes? Following the death of Agatha’s daughter, Rosalind, at the end of 2004, a remarkable legacy was revealed. Unearthed among her affairs at the family home of Greenway were Agatha Christie’s private notebooks, seventy-three handwritten volumes of notes, lists and drafts outlining all her plans for her many books, plays and stories. Buried in this treasure trove, all in her unmistakable handwriting, are revelations about her famous books that will fascinate anyone who has ever read or watched an Agatha Christie story. How did the infamous twist in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd really come about? Which very famous Poirot novel started life as an adventure for Miss Marple? Which books were designed to have completely differ-ent endings, and what were they? What were the plot ideas that she considered but rejected? Full of details she was too modest to reveal in her own autobiography, this remarkable new book includes a wealth of excerpts and pages reproduced directly from the notebooks and her letters, plus, for the first time, two newly discovered complete Hercule Poirot short stories never before published.
