The Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie - the main source of inspiration for my murder mystery novels. "4.50 From Paddington" is probably my favourite. I love the character Lucy Eyelsbarrow, she's clever, entrepreneurial and a domestic whizz.

I'm so thrilled, after three years, to have finally completed my collection of the complete works of Agatha Christie in original fascimil hardback with original book jacket illustrations.
