Agatha Christie’s Writing Style

Agatha Christie’s writing style is one of the key factors contributing to her enduring popularity. I know her stories for their intricate plots, clever twists, and attention to detail. Christie was a master of misdirection, often leading readers down one path before revealing a surprising twist that upends everything they thought they knew.
