Magic of Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie was an author in the early 1920s and is well known even today for her great work. Her books are found in every bookstore under the category "crime fiction/thriller" Her writing reflects the norms of life in that period. The writing style she used is considered old fashioned today but I believe that it helps the reader understand the atmosphere as well as the actions of the narrators in her books. Some words she used in her books are rarely used today but learning about the writing style and narration of a different period is very interesting to me. She was a nurse during both world wars and also wrote her first novel amidst the war.

Agatha Christie is one ofmy favourite author because the genre she writes is something that peeks my interest. Although there are many authors writing crime fiction, her writing is something I find appealing. I also noticed how she never reused any ideas. Her books contain many surprising plots that would keep the reader entertained. I admire the effort she put into writing her books because writing crime fiction means having thought out the whole plot and storyline beforehand.

My favourite book written by her is one of her most famous work titled "Murder on the Orient Express" The plots in all her books are unexpected which never lets the reader get bored. The adventures carried out by the characters are very unique and thrilling so much, so that it transports the reader into the mind of the narrator. The start is easy going and leading up to the big suspense. It is always fun making assumptions about the ending and speculating who was behind the crime in the first place. But, the assumptions made are likely to be untrue as she never seems to give away who the murderer was untill the very end. This element of surprise is something I love about her books. The end is written perfectly, concluding the happenings in the story. The story of her books flow well and I feel complete satisfaction upon finishing the book.
