This book takes ten of Agatha Christie's most famous works and shows their relationship to ten of crime history's most famous and sensational cases-cases whose notoriety still resounds to this day. Addressing both novels and short stories, this work illuminates the relationship between Christie's Murder on the Orient Express and the sensational Lindbergh Kidnapping Case of 1932; the connections between Christie's Mrs. McGinty's Dead and the horrific true case of England's most loathed wife-killer, the American Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen-and eight more engrossing pairings of Agatha Christie's ingenious mystery puzzles with vintage true crime's most sensational events."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Christie, Agatha, $d 1890-1976 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Christie, Agatha, $d 1890-1976. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00033432 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a True crime stories $x Influence. 650 7 $a Detective and mystery stories, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891515 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103013732.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DF62EF0BC2911EAAC3CDF0297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
