It's a story that even the Queen of Crime couldn't have come up with: the mysterious disappearance of the most famous writer in England and subsequent nationwide search, then fifty years later a sance in a glamorous Istanbul hotel and the discovery of a key that could solve the whole mystery.

Agatha Christie's Torquay
|
January 10, 2011 |
|
Throughout her long life, one place in particular remained close to Agatha Christie's heart. Tucked away in the southwest corner of England is Torquay, a picturesque seaside resort. Not only was it where she spent a happy, memorable childhood, but also where she learnt about poisons and found inspiration for settings in her stories. Even the idea for her famous detective Hercule Poirot came from her hometown. I knew that to capture the essence of this most famous crime writer, I had to travel west.

Death & Life on the Nile, Agatha Christie's Egypt
|
January 10, 2011 |
|
My sister, mother, and I are traveling on a Nile cruise. This is our first trip to Egypt. We have an itinerary reminiscent of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile (1937). We sail on Alexander the Great, a five star, boutique Nile cruise ship, host to celebrities like Jacques Chirac, Catherine de Neuve, Spanish couturier Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, and Peter Norton (of Norton Anti-Virus). The ship prides itself on quiet English style. Afternoon tea is served promptly at five. Death on the Nile plays on TV.
