Items related to Duchess of Death: The Unauthorized Biography of Agatha...
Although she is the most popular novelist in history, with over two billion books sold worldwide, Agatha Christie lived a life shrouded in secrecy and fueled by curiosity. Nearly as notorious for her aversion to the press as she was for her 80 books and collections of short stories, Christie made no secret of her need for privacy. Utilizing over 5,000 previously unpublished letters, notes, and documents, award-winning biographer Richard Hack allows Christie to write again, 33 years after her death. DUCHESS OF DEATH is her story, as full of romance, travel, wealth, and scandal as any mystery Christie ever crafted.
There have been numerous biographies of the Queen of Crime, all of which claim to be definitive. However, DUCHESS OF DEATH is the first to draw from such an enormous number of previously unpublished correspondence and notes, effectively establishing it as the most authoritative, penetrating look at the personal and literary life of Christie.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. 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 Drawing upon more than 5,000 previously unpublished letters, notes, and documents, award-winning biographer Richard Hack allows Christie to write again.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. Seller Inventory # DADAX1597776203
