Published in 1937, one review stated, "To decide whether a writer of fiction possesses the true novelist's gift it is often a good plan to consider whether the minor characters in his or her book, those to whose creation the author has probably given little thought, stand out in the narrative in their own right as living personalities. This test is one Mrs. Christie always passes successfully, and never more so than in her new book." Let yourself sink into one of Christie's best mysteries and join the conversation! Join Alexandria's Agatha Christie book club meeting. This time featuring Death on the Nile, a Hercule Poirot mystery. Agatha Christie was a prolific mystery writer, publishing over 60 novels, numerous plays and short stories. Zoom registration is required.
