Agatha Christie is the queen of crime, but even those of literary royal blood must admit that there is a period of time in their career that just doesn’t align itself to any other; and the longer the reign, the more likely it is to be at the final curtain that the illumination starts to fade; literature aping real life as the spell can be, hopefully not broken, but perhaps witnessed for what it is; a last hurrah of a genius mind.
