With rare access to family members, scholars and her personal archive, INSIDE THE MIND OF AGATHA CHRISTIE explores what made the world's most successful crime writer tick. Millions of readers worldwide know Agatha Christie's indelible characters and plot twists, but what do we know about the author herself? Dr. John Curran has spent years poring over her personal archive, a treasure trove containing letters, manuscripts and 73 meticulously kept notebooks in which she documented everything she saw and heard. He and others explain how the author used her experiences to weave together formidable plots and how, despite being known as the queen of "cozy" crime, Agatha's mind was, in the words of screenwriter Sarah Phelps, "incredibly dark."

Explores how the settings of Christie's stories and novels were, in fact, drawn from real places. There is no more quintessentially English writer than Christie. Through her sensational murder mysteries, she created a literary universe that almost singlehandedly shaped the world's image of England. Retracing Christie's footsteps, this new special visits Beacon Cove, where a young Agatha swam with her nephew when he narrowly escaped drowning, the memory of which would be reprised in her 1939 novel And Then There Were None. In Ealing, Christie witnessed her great-aunt, affectionately known as Granny, devouring local gossip and news of gruesome murder trials, the blueprint for the author's fictional world of Miss Marple and The village of St Mary's Mead. And the influx of Belgian refugees into her hometown of Torquay during World War I inspired another of Christie's great characters, Hercule Poirot.
