Introdução: Quando se trata de literatura policial, a escritora inglesa Agatha Christie é considerada uma das romancistas mais bem sucedidas da história da literatura pelos seus inúmeros livros vendidos.

References to the concept of evil can be found scattered throughout Agatha Christie’s novels.

It is my contention in this article that it is not until two of her late novels Endless Night (1967) and The Pale Horse (1961) that Christie foregrounds the issue of evil and concurrent themes of psychotic and obsessive love and desire. Of course, there are multiple examples of the intersections between love and evil, involving betrayal, tric

Over the course of her autobiography, Agatha Christie makes some fascinating observations about cars, and what their growing ubiquity meant to a young woman transitioning from Victorian girlhood to interwar modernity. In her interwar novels, meanwhile, the car functions variously as a marker of status, an index of character and a symbol of female agency. However, this initially optimistic embrace of motoring modernity began to change in the second half of Christie's career, with the result that the car would come to signify not just a changing relationship between gender and mobility, but also

This essay examines three novels from the immediate postwar period to consider how she adapted her writing to negotiate a changing world and evolving fashions in genre fiction.
