Murder Isn't Easy: The Forensics of Agatha Christie by Carla Valentine

5.0

A thoroughly absorbing book! It blends the history of forensics of various kinds - ballistics, toxicology, fingerprinting, etc - with an analysis of how Agatha Christie depicted these in her books, with the conclusion that Christie was a fastidious researcher and often bang up to date on her forensic science (a not insignificant task, given she wrote for 50 years!). It’s a fun trip through Christie’s back catalogue from a different angle, and (in case you were worried!) without any major plot spoilers.
