Review

David Brown

The arrival of Belgian detective Hercule Poirot in A Mysterious Affair at Styles changed publishing for ever. Thanks to him, Miss Marple and their creator Agatha Christie, crime fiction became a lucrative but cosy commodity. Solving murder was turned into an addictive parlour game, though critics who dismiss Christie as a mere puzzle-setter overlook the psychological insights to be found in her books.

Here, we discover why readers still find both comfort and thrills in the grand country houses that Christie dreamt up where bodies tend to lie in every library.
