{"product_id":"agatha-christie-first-lady-of-crime","title":"Agatha Christie: First Lady of Crime","description":"Includes a new introduction from Sophie Hannah, bestselling author of THE MONOGRAM MURDERS\n\nAgatha Christie was not only the biggest selling writer of detective stories the world has ever known, she was also a mystery in herself, giving only the rarest interviews, declining absolutely to become any sort of public figure, and a mystery too in the manner in which she achieved her astonishing success.\n\nH R F Keating, a crime novelist and respected reviewer of crime fiction, brought together a dozen distinguished writers from both sides of the Atlantic to throw light on this double mystery. Some analyse the art itself; some explain the reasons for her success, not just the books, but also in film and theatre.\n\nThe approaches are penetrating, affectionate, enthusiastic, analytical, funny - even critical. Together, they give an almost unique insight into the life and work of the First Lady of Crime.","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39664552509525,"sku":"9781474619448N","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/355d0ff1-6ed5-4b0f-b9b3-c6cb624cdd3f.jpg?v=1644267665","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/agatha-christie-first-lady-of-crime","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
