I absolutely love mystery stories. Reading or hearing a Agatha Christie mystery is my favorite form of relaxation!
Agatha Christie was a genius. Thanks for giving us insights on how she spun her spells.
Dame Agatha Christie was an absolute genius, pure and simple. Thanks so much for posting this.
I fully agree, she was a genius. And she would always focus on details.
For example Hercules Poirot: He solved crimes by considering details like pieces of a puzzle. AND: He always focused on human psychology too.... Pure genius!
Hello, I'm from the Philippines. My first time to watch her novel made into a film, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, I was immediately hooked. I hope I could connect with English friends here and talk about more about the Brit life and Agatha Christie.😊

Everything about her writting is a model to follow
Необычайно интересно, благодарю безмерно
This lady was absolutely amazing, a true genius! One of the best writers ever ❤❤
Just reading her autobiography. So interesting (first car and plane ride in her lifetime!) I do wish she had added more about her later life incl how she came up with plots/characters for some books esp the espionage ones. Did she meet real life spies or some of these characters in real life? Would love to know. I’ve recognized some of her family in them - I think. What a gift to have friend like her in this lifetime. A rare person and gift she shared with the world. Thx to her family for sharing more. 🙏❤️
Thank you so much....Blessings on your Entire Family.
0:25 its so simple yet its not something I’d think of
Fun Fact: The bit of dialogue Matthew is reading is from “Hallowe’en Party”, meaning this journal entry was written somewhere in the 1960s
Mary Drake?!! This is where pll got inspiration
The Tommy and Tuppence stories are the best, for my money. Then Marple and Poirot. Too bad she didn't write more T&T, and I do prefer the original filmed version to the latest tarted up and just sort of painfully brought into modern times shows. What was wrong with the 30s styles? Art Nouveau anyone, and flappers?
Nobody can beat American mysteries for being bizarre, like Ross MacDonald, Dashiel Hammett, and Raymond Chandler. Christie read their works, which might have lent some creepiness to her own.
She read/was friends with PG Wodehouse, master plotter and just funny. He would include lines like "The butler was in the pantry reading an Agatha Christie", and frequently brought an inept private detective into his stories.
at least her family have never had to work as her estate still brings in millions every year
I'm surprised he uses Hallowe'en Party as the example. It's definitely one of Christie's weaker books.
Please stop producing those spinoff novels. I was given one, no, two by mistake. I started one, and realized what it was because the plot was SO stupid and so not AC; (because it's quite chauvinistic) - and I am not going to bother with the other one, and I'm annoyed.
There are spinoffs?!? I thought Christie's characters were still in copyright.
@@tonyflamingo3668 Yes, there are novels written by other authors, in the style of Christie or something like that. I was given two as a gift, the person who gave them to me didn't realize it wasn't actually Christie, and neither did I - about 2 or 3 pages into it I knew it wasn't hers. For one thing, the women in her stories are usually stronger, not likely to be bossed around by men. It was more of a Hollywood setup, I'm sure someone would like to see them made into movies. Her grandson is doing it, so he probably has the rights.
@Jake Stockton Get stuffed.
@@susantunbridge4612 Seems like a purely commercial enterprise. Else I can't see any reason for them to permit a seemingly terrible book, and what's worse, slap Christie's name on it.
@@tonyflamingo3668 What bothers me is that you're basically tricked into getting the book, because you think it's a genuine A. Christie book. If I want to read a different author, I'll get one writing under their own name. The author writing under Christie's name is ok, (although pretty generic American-style TV drama), and should earn their stripes like every other author has had to. Like Christopher Fowler for instance, his Bryant and May series.
