Duchess of Death Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Gives a lot of good background about Agatha Christie's childhood and her life through her first marriage to Archie Christie, but the material becomes thin regarding her later career. Does reveal how Christie became so knowledgeable about poisons, the Orient Express, and some other elements of her books, but doesn't offer much in-depth analysis of her work. "

" Interesting explanation of the missing 11 days and her second marriage. A bit ponderous,would have liked more about the books than just pub date and US titles.... "

" Agatha Christie was an interesting and accomplished person, However the detail in this books is a bit annoying. I really do not care what she did not have for breakfast on December 3, 1926. "

" Since I knew little about Agatha Christie, what I learned about her from reading this admittedly unauthorized bio interested me. At times the book's pace became mired in all the details about her works (dates of publication, titles used in Britain versus those used in the U.S., etc.)- but it also showed the famous author as a more unorthodox character than I imagined. "

" It was interesting to read about Agatha Christie's childhood, young adulthood, and first marriage, but after that it wasn't so interesting. I'd give four stars to the first half of the book, and two stars to the last half, so that averages out to be three stars. The best part is that reading this book has inspired me to reread some Christie mysteries, which I always enjoyed very much but haven't read in a long time. "

" Such a readable biography. The author did a wonderful job presenting the accomplishments of this woman. "

" Fascinating! I think I'd have liked her a lot. "

" Not for everyone, but very interesting if you have read and love her books! "

" Newer biography, but really nothing new. "

" A pleasant and basic bio of a talented and incredibly talented writer. This was a treat to read. "

" This seems to be a good 3-star book for everyone. "

" Written rather boringly but there is some interesting information hidden in there. May attempt it again in future. "

" If you like a fascinating biography this is well worth the read. Enjoyed the in depth investigation into the life of a rather private shy person. Great read. "

" Interesting book about Agatha Christie, although a tad dry. "

" Simply adore this book. I know it is unauthorized and I've currently bought her autobiography - but this is so interesting and I am fascinated with how such a phenomenally successful author began her career. I've always liked her mysteries - now I'm going to read more of them. "

" I had this book on audio but I can't stand listening to the reader so I'm taking it off of my 'to read' list. I'm sure it would be better if I was actually 'reading' it instead of 'listening' to it. "

" Very interesting, considering the fact that it read like fiction. I often thought it was a book of fiction, and was delighted when i reminded myself it wasn't. A very nice biography that didn't make me fall asleep, which is a very good thing! "

" After reading about 8 pages I threw the book across the room. "
