++++ OUR NEXT TALK ++++

Our next monthly talk is on TUESDAY 6th October

at the Corner House, Tolworth 

Agatha Christie and True Crime – Jonathan Oates

Although the crime mysteries written by Agatha Christie are the result of the author’s imagination, they also contain elements of reality, showing her knowledge of true crime which may not always be apparent to the reader. This is shown in several ways. First, plots and characters are sometimes inspired by real life crimes. Second, real criminals and their crimes are referred to, explicitly and implicitly. Finally, there are some crimes which were foreshadowed in her work.
