I've been a mystery buff since elementary school when I discovered Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden, and have been enjoying Agatha Christie almost as long. I was gifted this delightful volume at Christmas time and have had a wonderful time perusing it. Author John Curran was given complete access to the dozens and dozens of notebooks that Dame Agatha used to capture her ideas, plots, and character names (along with shopping lists, road directions, and "books to read"). Most of her best known works are discussed, using the various notes and jottings from the notebooks. Highly entertaining and informative for the "little grey cells"!
