Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie (1890-1976) was an English author of mystery fiction whose status in the genre is unparalleled. A prolific and dedicated creator, she wrote short stories, plays and poems, but her fame is due primarily to her mystery novels, especially those featuring two of the most celebrated sleuths in crime fiction, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Ms. Christie’s novels have sold in excess of two billion copies, making her the best-selling author of fiction in the world, with total sales comparable only to those of William Shakespeare or The Bible. Despite the fact that she did not enjoy cinema, almost 40 films have been produced based on her work.

Reviews for The Shadow on the Glass

[Tabitha D. · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I've never really read any Agatha Christie, though I always wanted to and I have to say that this was a nice little read to use as a way to test the waters. It's impressive how such a fascinating, twisty mystery with interesting characters can be told in such a short time. I guess my favorite thing was how intrigued I was by the background established about this location especially as it was brought into the current tale. I've always been impressed by the skill it takes to tell such a captivating story in a short time. I really enjoyed the narration as well. I'm definitely going to have to try out more by the author later.
