Pete, I just requested the biography by Gillian Gill from our local library.pete9012S wrote:Chrissie one of my favourite biographies is 'Agatha Christie The Woman and her mysteries' by Gillian Gill.
Her own autobiography is one of my favourite books,I don't know if you have read that?
I read both, Agatha Christie's autobiography and Janet Morgan's biography plus one book by Agatha Christie on her forays (do you use that term in this context?) with Sir Max Mallowan in Mesopotamia which was a really compelling read. I love archaeology.
To be honest I got more out of the Janet Morgan biography than from Christie's autobiography (but the same happened when I read biographies & autobiographies on Katharine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall, the biographies disclosed a lot more).
That's why I was hoping to find another newer biography (Janet Morgan's book was written in 1984, so a new biography might offer new insights).
Usually different autobiographers have different angles which makes it more interesting to read not just one biography about the same person.
I also requested this coffee table book from our library:

Taking a boat ride on the River Dart is something I would enjoy to do after having watched "Ordeal by Innocence" with Donald Sutherland. Did you ever watch it? The filming locations along the River Dart are absolutely stunning.
