Agatha Christie Night
at the Southbank Centre
Best-selling authors Val McDermid, Kate Mosse and Jasper Fforde discuss their love of the Queen of Crime at the Southbank Centre in London on Wednesday 16 September as part of this year’s Christie Week celebrations.
The authors talk about the compelling skills of the author who brought Poirot and Miss Marple to a worldwide audience, and discuss why Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare.
They also share some extracts from their favourite works and take questions from the audience. The discussion is chaired by the crime writer, Simon Brett.
