All things Agatha Christie have become an interest

All things Agatha Christie have become an interest for both my mom and I. It all started several years back when we started watching Poirot episodes on PBS. I believe it was around the same time that the Downton Abbey series first premiered. We enjoyed watching David Suchet as Poirot (who still represents the character the very best in my opinion) as he exercised his little grey cells to their fullest potential to solve crimes.

Recently, however, our interest has expanded to reading and learning more about Agatha Christie herself (including the time that she disappeared for in December 1926. According to reports, she disappeared on December 3 and was found on December 14 at a hotel in Harrogate, Yorkshire, where she was staying under an assumed name, “Mrs. Tressa Neele”.

In addition to learning more about Agatha Christie we’ve explored her other works featuring Miss Marple and have put together three challenging puzzles with the most interesting ‘maps’ which include facts about different items that are found throughout the scene displayed in the puzzle. So far we’ve put together ‘The World of Agatha Christie’, ‘The World of Poirot’, ‘The World of Miss Marple’ and ‘Murder on the Orient Express’.

For this gift guide, I found various other items for the true Agatha Christie enthusiast in your life.
