Duchess of Death

the long version

She is the most popular novelist in history. Yet the drama and torment of Agatha Christie’s private life remains a mystery even to her most ardent fans. She made no secret of her disdain for the press and for those who wished to intrude on her private life. In this immensely readable and intimate biography, bestselling author Richard Hack reveals the romance, scandal, and betrayal that drove one of the 20th Century’s most celebrated figures. Drawing from over 5,000 unpublished letters, notes, and documents, Duchess of Death provides the most complete and knowing portrait of this famed author to date.
