    About this audiobook

    What does the name 'Agatha Christie' mean? To many people, it means a book about a murder mystery - a 'whodunnit'. 'I'm reading an Agatha Christie,' people say. 'I'm not sure who the murderer is - I think it's ...' But they are usually wrong, because it is not easy to guess the murderer's name before the end of the book. But who was Agatha Christie? What was she like? Was her life quiet and unexciting, or was it full of interest and adventure? Was there a mystery in her life, too?

      Agatha Cristie is a very famous and popular writer. In this book, we can know her own life. She experienced difficulties , sadness and hapiness as one woman.Of course, I have known Agatha Cristie as a writer. But I didn't know her effort or pain. Many stories written by her came from her experiences. Her ability that she finds the sources of detective stories from every day's life, is wonderful. If we look around carefully, we may find something interesting and write a mystery story.

      Today, millions of her books, in more than forty different languages, are still sold in every country of the world. Everyone knows her name as an author who wrote whodunnit and murder mysteries. When she was a child and got ill, her mom recommended her to write a story. She became a great author as her mom had expected.I thought she had spent her life for only writing. But it was different. She had interestig experiences such as vacation to Eygpt, marriage, working as a volunteer nurse at wat with Germany and disappearance... so many! I wish I could have great experiences like her.
