It is a detailed analysis or collection of her notes described and considered from the viewpoint of a dedicated person who explains deductions and thoughts about those notes.

She wrote about a book per year and more projects during her writing career. A guided tour awaits Agatha Christie fans and writers who want to know how she planned and executed her many projects as well as writers who want to study the art and craft of writing.

This book is an insight into what Agatha Christie did during her writing career as she thought about ideas, plots, and other aspects of a story. Readers get to know her mind as a writer. Writers get to know about her planning of a story and other details of her writing career.

I liked the added insights given about what she wrote in her notes, the timelines that showed approximately when things were written, and the explanation of the different notes spread out through different notebooks concerning a particular project.

I would have wanted to know about the information that was missing from the notebooks. I also would have liked to know more about how she worked through her planning stage.

I want to study this book to learn the steps she used because this will help me and after reading this book from beginning to ending I realize there is a lot to learn.

I felt as if I had been given a gift. Knowing about these notebooks and learning what is in them is like having her as a tutor.

I consider all the information in this book very valuable and a good way to learn one person's approach to creating and writing stories. It is a classroom of approaches to solving problems and getting stories written that capture the attention of readers until they have finished reading the stories.

For readers who like autobiographies, this book lets the reader inside her mind. For writers, it is a person's approach to writing ideas and creation in steps that give clues to creativity and allow imagination to freely consider ideas.

For readers who want a story, this book is notes and scribbles dedicated to creating stories.
