Agatha Christie Secret Notebooks
1919. The little lady may have a knack for mystery writing
“The readers’ reports on the Styles manuscript were, despite some misgivings, promising. One gets right to the commercial considerations: ‘Despite its manifest shortcomings, Lane could very likely sell the novelÉ There is a certain freshness about it.’ A second report is more enthusiastic: ‘It is altogether rather well told and well written.’ And another speculates on her potential future ‘if she goes on writing detective stories and she evidently has quite a talent for them’.”

Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks
In 2004 at Greenway, Agatha Christie’s family home, a remarkable treasure was unearthed—73 handwritten notebooks outlining all her plans for her many famous works! Full of details never revealed in her autobiography, Agatha Christie’s Secret Notebooks by John Curran, her long-time literary advisor, includes a wealth of material reproduced directly from the notebooks.
Inside, you’ll discover the “deleted scene” in her first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles…how the infamous twist in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd really came about…which famous Poirot novel started life as a Marple adventure and much more! Featuring two newly discovered Hercule Poirot tales, this amazing volume guarantees hours of pleasure with the Queen of Crime.
