A View Behind the Curtain

The books of Agatha Christie are very popular in Hillsdale, although I've never known exactly why. Granted, they are suspenseful and well-written with lots of twists and turns. Christie was a master at her craft. But they were published so long ago, conventional library wisdom would dictate that they wouldn't get checked out much anymore. At any rate, patrons who enjoy Christie's mysteries will want to check out Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks by John Curran. With material from Christie's 73 private notebooks, this book gives us a peek into the author's mind. It includes drawings and two previously unpublished Poirot stories.
