John Curran, the Agatha Christie scholar behind Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks, turns to the puzzle craze of the 1920s and 1930s and the detective fiction that fed it. The 480-page hardcover mixes biography, publishing history and the mechanics of classic whodunits, aimed at readers who want the story behind the Golden Age rather than another novel. It sits alongside Curran's earlier Christie studies and Kate Summerscale's The Wicked Boy as narrative nonfiction for crime-fiction fans. Expect archival detail and plot discussion; readers who want a straight biography of one author may find the scope broad.
