Pam McAllister is a feminist author, activist, poet, storyteller, and professional musician. She edited the celebrated anthology Reweaving the Web of Life: Feminism and Nonviolence (1982) and wrote two books documenting ways women around the world have used creative nonviolence for social justice causes, You Can’t Kill the Spirit and This River of Courage. Grace Paley once wrote, “I’m interested in anything Pam does ... Her work on women’s lives and nonviolence is direct, true, close to my heart, actually -- essential.”

In addition to writing and lecturing about feminism and nonviolence, McAllister has authored books, essays, and articles about the death penalty, Mark Twain, Shakespeare, Agatha Christie, and Sherlock Holmes. She wrote a book of liberation theology-based devotions for people in prison and a column about hymn texts and composers for The Progressive Christian magazine (2007-2011).

Having long ago made the happy transition from rural to urban, she lives in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Read more at www.PamMcAllisterAuthor.com.

I had this book when originally published--in large size, but I gave it away to another Christie fan. I was glad to find a new version was still available. It is the best book I have found giving all the Christie book summaries plus much more. However I would have prefered it in the larger size. I didn't realize it was smaller when I ordered it

I like the book and found it is one that I can pick up, read a few pages and then come back to later. If you are not a true Agatha Christie fan I don't think this one would be of interest to you.

I own the previous edition of this book, so I bought this one, assuming, it, being newer. would include materials about films and TV shows that came out after the ones already covered in the first edition. It does not! It is identical to my old edition except for the cover! What is the point? If you own the older one, don't waste your money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Read Ms Christie first
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2009
Verified Purchase
As much as I enjoy reading, like many compulsive readers I enjoy books about books. Companions to popular writers are quite a genre in themselves - there are far more books about Shakespeare, for instance, than he wrote himself. Oddly, Ms Christie seems something of an odd-one-out, as the literature of her literature is sparse, to say the least.

This is a workable guide to Dame Agatha's writings, understandably concentrating on her mysteries, but also considering her plays and romances, as well as films and TV shows based on her work. There are also features, such as why you should avoid country houses, and essays by various fans about why they like her work. In addition, there are photographs and diagrams, as well as crossword puzzles and the like. On the whole, it's a good package, though it is intended for an American market, which means that not all the titles are the ones an English reader would recognise. Still, I do think it's a worthwhile purchase, and flick through it often.
