Omschrijving
Far from cozy and formulaic, Agatha Christie’s outlaw poisoners offer readers the surprising pleasures of comeuppance, and they set the stage for contemporary detective fiction writers, more recent films depicting poisoning as empowering, and even poison gardens, which are tourist destinations that offer visitors the guilty pleasure of poison.
Nominated by Content Prize Committee for International Crime Fiction Association, Second Runner Up Selection, 2022“Agatha Christie and the Guilty Pleasure of Poison, Sylvia A. PamboukianThis book has the lovely premise of Christie’s female poisoners as outlaws; rebels, justified seekers of revenge and retribution. Conducting useful comparisons with other iconic authors this book is full of interest. Following the current trend that sees Christie as a pioneer interested in subversion rather than conservative, reactionary and formulaic this book gives an exciting and unexpected reading of her work.” (Ruth Heholt, Linda Ledford-Miller and Kerstin-Anja Münderlein, ICFA - International Crime Fiction Association Newsletter, October, 2023)
