Drawing from over 5, 000 unpublished letters, notes, and documents, Richard Hack has written the biography that Agatha Christie fans have been waiting for. Richard Hack has been an investigative writer for over 20 years and has written 14 books, including biographies of Ted Turner, Michael Jackson, and J. Edgar Hoover.
Richard Hack?s Duchess of Death is a tantalizing biography of the very extraordinary woman and life of Agatha Christie. Skillfully written and exhaustively researched I could not put it down. Quotes from the various media reviews that came out following the release of each new AC book or play or film whether one agrees or disagrees was the most thrilling for me and are found throughout Hack?s book. Although AC didn?t give a tuppence for reviews she did justly mind about the gross distortion of story lines and her characters depicted in the film productions that came out over the years and are still coming down to us in my opine. The loss of control and legal rights obviously broke her heart which is evidenced by the disdainful remarks made by AC which are also cited in Richard Hack?s bio and these are fascinating. This unofficial biography is packed with details about AC?s life, her family, her marriages, her associates, her travels not commonly known. Especially appreciated was the plausible yet no wishy-washy handling of AC?s 11 day disappearance. The proverbial saying "Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration" albeit not underlined in bold by Richard Hack is witnessed in the turning of every page of his brilliantly written unofficial biography of the Duchess of Death.
