About this ebook

Do you love Agatha Christie mystery novels, but skip over any unfamiliar references? Then you're missing out! Read Christie's books as if you were her 1920s contemporary by exploring the background of:

  • Quaint English customs
  • Poirot's French expressions
  • Quirky British slang
  • Post-World War I lifestyles
  • And much more

Years of research by history buff and Christie fan Kate Gingold has been collected in this glossary covering the first decade of Agatha Christie's mysteries.

Inside you will find over 1800 terms, including 347 French phrases from Hercule Poirot, each with a definition and its location within the stories. Nearly 200 are accompanied by an illustration. As a bonus, the author takes a "Closer Look" at a topic from each of Christie's first eleven books.

 

Enjoy your favorite Agatha Christie novel even more with this guide to deciphering the definition and context of these hundred-year-old words and phrases.

"Ms. Gingold anticipates virtually any question a Christie reader might have." – Patricia Rockwell, Cozy Cat Press
