About this listen
Agatha Christie’s ‘most absorbing mystery’ – her own autobiography.
Over the three decades since her death on 12 January 1976, many of Agatha Christie’s readers and reviewers have maintained that her most compelling book is probably still her least well-known. Her candid Autobiography, written mainly in the 1960s, modestly ignores the fact that Agatha had become the best-selling novelist in history and concentrates on her fascinating private life. From early childhood at the end of the 19th century, through two marriages and two World Wars, and her experiences both as a writer and on archaeological expeditions with her second husband, Max Mallowan, Agatha shares the details of her varied and sometimes complex life with real passion and openness.

“Wonderfully easy to read and engrossing.” (The Times)
“Agatha Christie’s most absorbing mystery – the story of her own unusual life. She has put it all on record: her early romances; a broken (and a happy) marriage; strange events on the path to roaring success.” (Daily Mail)
“A wonderful book – written with a delight in the gradual unfolding of 75 years through the eyes of an exceptional old lady and writer.” (Financial Times)

Terrible reader, Agatha would turn in her grave.
The reader has forced me to quit listening and buy the hard copy. Her haughty voice and patronising inflection oozes a snobbery which is a wrong impression for iconic Ms Christie who was non of these things. The posh English accent is not the problem, it is the dreadful performance of the reader. So disappointing as the book itself fascinating.

More than just a story about books
What did you love best about An Autobiography?
Agatha Christie writes very well. this is obvious in her mysteries and also in this autobiography. She weaves a very good story about the early 20th century, introducing aeroplanes, cars and WW1. A very interesting look at a family at the turn of the last century.
What was one of the most memorable moments of An Autobiography?
The history produced as side notes to her life
