Celebrating 120 years of Agatha Christie

Fri 23 July  |  Crown Hotel  |  5pm

She beats Dickens, Shakespeare, JK Rowling – and even Dan Brown! In fact only the bible outsells Agatha Christie. 2010 celebrates 120 years since the birth of the undisputed ‘Queen of Crime’. The woman who gave the world arguably its most famous Belgian and an unexpected sleuth in the form of a diminutive old lady who likes a good cup of tea, has sold over two billion books making her the most widely published novelist of all time.

What’s her enduring secret? Join host Dreda Say Mitchell as she attempts to crack the Christie code with help from the novelist’s grandson Mathew Prichard, biographer Laura Thompson and author and Christie admirer Andrew Taylor.
