Agatha Christie

Pronunciation pronunciation key
agăthă kristee

Definition 
Mysterious, unfathomable, sinister, or otherwise reminiscent of the detective thrillers of Agatha Christie (1890–1976). Featuring such memorable sleuths as Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot, her novels were notable for their inventive plots, which readers struggled to unravel before the final unmasking of the culprit. "It's all very Agatha Christie," she said with furrowed brow as she gave up the search for clues as to the whereabouts of her diary.
