Captivated by Christie’s “Captivist” Yarns

Since I wrote not long ago, in CrimeReads, about Agatha Christie’s first published novel, this In Reference to Murder item caught my eye:

Exactly a 100 years ago, on January 21, 1921, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, the first novel by Agatha Christie was published in the UK. There have been many tributes and essays penned about the centenary, but if you’re a fan of Christie and geography, you might check out this article by Sebastian Beck and Dominique Jeannerod on the International Crime Fiction blog. It takes a closer look at the different dimensions of space in the 45 novels featuring Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple and how the places where homicides were committed evolved over the course of Christie’s career.
