Murder Wrote She

Just imagine this; you buy a new house and move in to it. One day, you decide to check out the contents of one of the upstairs rooms and you find a cardboard box which holds exercise books. When you check through the notebooks, you find that these books contain Agatha Christie's notes, plot outlines and drafts of many of Christie's novels. That's what happened to John Curran when he bought Greenway, which had been Christie's holiday home in Devon. Even more exciting was the realisation that there was a completely unknown Poirot story in these books (it had been rejected by Christie's publishers because it was about a Hitler figure) John Curran has published Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks which should be a great read for students of Christie's work.
