Shortlisted for the BMA Book Awards and Macavity Awards 2016Fourteen novels. Fourteen poisons. Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it's all made-up ...Agatha Christie revelled in the use of poison to kill off unfortunate victims in her books; indeed, she employed it more than any other murder method, with the poison itself often being a central part of the novel. Her choice of deadly substances was far from random - the characteristics of each often provide vital clues to the discovery of the murderer. With gunshots or stabbings the cause of death is obvious, but this is not the case with poisons. How is it that some compounds prove so deadly, and in such tiny amounts?Christie's extensive chemical knowledge provides the backdrop for A is for Arsenic, in which Kathryn Harkup investigates the poisons used by the murderer in fourteen classic Agatha Christie mysteries. It looks at why certain chemicals kill, how they interact with the body, the cases that may have inspired Christie, and the feasibility of obtaining, administering and detecting these poisons, both at the time the novel was written and today. A is for Arsenic is a celebration of the use of science by the undisputed Queen of Crime.

This new and revised edition of Hilary Macaskill's classic book, with many new illustrations, offers an insight into the life and work of the world's bestselling author. Hilary Macaskill examines the houses that meant most to Agatha Christie, including her childhood home, Ashfield, in Torquay; Winterbrook in Oxfordshire, and, above all, Greenway, soaring above the River Dart and Agatha's favorite home from 1938 to the end of her life in 1976 (though requisitioned in the Second World War by the Admiralty, and from 1943 to 1945 home also to the United States Coast Guard). The author also explores more temporary abodes, not only a succession of flats and houses in London (mainly in Kensington and Chelsea) but also the homes she set up at the digs (mostly in the Middle East) that she traveled to with her archaeologist husband, Max Mallowan, and the hotels - notably the Moorland Hotel on Dartmoor, to which she adjourned in the grip of writer's block to complete her first detective novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, and the Burgh Island Hotel, a major inspiration for And Then There Were None and Evil Under the Sun.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie The book begins at Styles Court, located in Essex, UK. The mansion has several people living in it, including Emily Inglethorp, the elderly owner of the estate. When the rest of the people who live there wake up in the morning, they find that Emily has died and it looks like she was poisoned. In one of Christie's novels about Hercule Poirot, the famous detective discovers that Emily had great wealth, providing a highly probable motive for the murder. The suspects included Alfred Inglethorp, a younger man Emily just married, the Cavendish family, which includes Emily's stepchildren, and Cynthia and Evelyn, both Emily's friends. John Cavendish, according to Emily's will, is the one who will get the majority stake in the mansion, so at first, this points the suspicious finger at her. However, it is said that, on the day of the murder, Emily had argued with John and Alfred and changed him will. No one can find any evidence that such a newly created will exists. The crime investigator is Inspector Japp, who believes that Alfred is the one who committed the murder. He refuses to provide an alibi, and he's the one with the most to gain (they found an updated version of Emily's will, in which Alfred inherits the mansion). Because he is so young, it seems that he is simply a man looking for easy money. Alfred is found guilty of the murder and he did it in coordination with Evelyn. Apparently, he had written a letter about Emily's murder, and this is what made Emily so angry on the day of the murder. Not being able to go another day without her telling someone, he decided to kill her that night.
