Saturday, October 4 | 12:45 PM
Agatha Christie, the author of such far-flung detective novels as The Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, was a world traveler.
This FREE presentation, with Professor Angela Fowler and Lecturer Michelle Aitken of Auburn University at Montgomery, will follow Christie's travels from Cape Town to Baghdad to Waikiki — once riding on the real Orient Express — and discuss how it informed her detective novels.
Fowler and Aitken will cover Christie's prominence in the Golden Age of Detective Fiction as one of the authors that established the rules of detective writing that are still used in everything from Knives Out to CSI as well as her mysterious 11-day disappearance that caused a mass media frenzy in 1926.
