As the author of more than eighty books and short story collections- including And Then There Were None, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, and Murder at the Vicarage- Agatha Christie is the most popular novelist in history, with more than two billion books of her work sold worldwide. Nearly as famous for her aversion to the press as she was for creating Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, Christie made no secret of her need for privacy. She lived a life shrouded in secrecy, and nearly fifty years after her passing, fans are still curious about her life beyond the pages. Drawing upon more than 5,000 previously unpublished letters, notes, and documents, award-winning biographer Richard Hack allows Christie to write again. Duchess of Death is her story, as full of romance, travel, wealth, and scandal as any mystery Christie ever crafted.

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.
