I have not read a lot of Agatha Christie books and short stories, but I after reading this I have a good overview of much of what she wrote. I also understand better why she was so important for the genre. She seems to be placed in the cozy mystery category, but that doesn't feel accurate. She kept herself on the cutting edge of forensic science to make sure the things in her stories were as accurate as possible. So in this overview of her work, we learn about the history of forensic science as well. So this is a little bit of Agatha Christie, a little bit of science, and a little bit of history.
