Celebrating a Queen of Crime

Happy birthday to British mystery writer Agatha Christie, who--had she not died in 1976--would today be celebrating her 122nd birthday. To honor this occasion, the blog Mystery Fanfare has posted a guest submission from John Curran, award-winning Christie expert and the author of Agatha Christie: Murder in the Making. His subject: the annual Agatha Christie Festival in Torquay, Devon, England.
