A look at her novel, And Then There Were None
Nearly thirty years after her death, the writer Agatha Christie remains a publishing phenomenon. Her books have sold more than a billion copies in English alone.
Earlier this year - in an online poll run to coincide with the English Riviera Tourist Board's 'Agatha Christie Week' - fans chose the 1939 novel And Then There Were None as their favourite story. The book, in which ten characters are lured to an island where, one by one, they are murdered was also adapted, by Agatha, for the stage. Tara Fitzgerald stars in a new version in the West End.
Our own Christie Fan, Clare Jenkins, followed in the author's footsteps starting on Burgh Island off the South coast of Devon, which was the setting for the story.
