Agatha Christie and New Directions in Reading Detective Fiction - Narratology and Detective Criticism (Hardcover)

WHY PUBLISH: - It develops, in "beginning-orientation", a wholly original approach to analysing and understanding detective fiction. - Due to the popularity of Agatha Christie's fiction, this book would have a broad appeal, particularly in the UK, Europe, US and Australasia. There might be scope for a French translation, given the author's focus on Pierre Bayard's scholarship. - Not only does this book challenge Agatha Christie's plots, but also dissects previous re-readings of them (Banyard's) to formulate new interpretations.
