      Agatha Christie machte den salonfähigen Mord zu ihrem Markenzeichen. Sie wurde zur meistgelesenen Krimi-Autorin der Welt. Aber hinter dem verbreiteten Bild einer Bestseller-produzierenden, liebenswerten alten Dame verbirgt sich eine zweite, weniger bekannte Agatha Christie: viktorianisch geprägt, doch überraschend unkonventionell, freiheitsliebend, nach heutigem Verständnis "emanzipiert". Die Erfinderin der unsterblichen Miss Marple und des eigenwilligen Detektivs Poirot war immer auch eine hellwache Chronistin Englands.
