Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks: Fifty Years of Mysteries in the Making: A Gift for Agatha Christie Lovers
John Curran
$16.99 $15.80Where it all started! I learned Greenway House had been used to house evacuees from this book and wanted to READ a book about it!
Five Little Pigs
Agatha Christie
$16.99 $15.80I read the books Agatha Christie wrote during WWII, and was delighted to find Greenway used as a setting for this novel, too. The battery in particular is important to this story. A Poirot novel.
Ordeal by Innocence
Agatha Christie
$15.99 $14.87Agatha Christie borrows Greenway again AND a war nursery, just like the one she hosted during WWII.
The Mysterious Affair at Styles: The First Hercule Poirot Mystery
Agatha Christie
$11.00 $10.23The first Hercule Poirot. He's such a great character.
And Then There Were None
Agatha Christie
$9.99 $9.29Classic Agatha Christie, and a standalone, so you can read it in any order.
The ABC Murders: A Hercule Poirot Mystery
Agatha Christie
$18.99 $17.66A Hercule Poirot that seemed like (and is) a classic Christie.
Death on the Nile
Agatha Christie
$18.99 $17.66Another classic Christie. Perfect for a hot summer day.
An Autobiography
Agatha Christie
$21.99 $20.45Probably one of the most important research books for Death at Greenway. I learned so much from reading this book, not just for research.
How We Lived Then: A History of Everyday Life During the Second World War
Norman Longmate
$37.95 $35.29I didn't finish this book (it's dense) but it was perhaps one of the best research tools for Death at Greenway. I really got a sense of what it was like to living during the war.
Sisters: Heroic True-Life Stories from the Nurses of World War Two
Barbara Mortimer
$19.95 $18.55This was a really helpful book for research into what it was like to train and serve as a nurse during WWII.
Air Raids & Ration Books: Life on the Home Front in Wartime Britain
Mike Brown
$32.95 $30.64Another great research book, with lots of great images.
Agatha Christie
Laura Thompson
$35.00 $32.55My favorite biography of Christie is actually the Janet Morgan one, where the author had access to the family archives. (Harder to find.) But this one was also quite good and easier to buy.
Who Will Take Our Children?: The British Evacuation Program of World War II, Rev. Ed.
Carlton Jackson
$35.94A research document that was helpful on the intricacies of the national evacuation program. The vacs at Greenway were privately evacuated.
Agatha Christie
Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara and Elisa Munso
$15.99 $14.87I bought a pile of these to give out to the new kids in my life. And kept one for myself, of course. The art is so delightful.
N or M?
Agatha Christie
$18.99 $17.66Another book Christie wrote during WWII. Greenway doesn't figure in this Tommy and Tuppence story, but it was helpful to read about what Agatha was thinking about during wartime.
