In+a+Nutshell

=**In A Nutshell...**= //A Murder is Announced// was published in 1950, and was a part of 80 some works of literature by Agatha Christie, each revolving around mysterious murders and mind numbing cases. Agatha Christie was one of the world's top crime writers (seriously, she knew her stuff) and cleverly incorporated her knowledge of detective work, rhetorical devices, medicines and poisons, etc., into her books.

What makes this book so special is the way a theme; or rather a motive in this case, is used to substantiate a murder. What was the reason behind taking a life? Well, in //A Murder is Announced//, Christie uses wealth and places it into the backdrop. Pay attention as to how ____ ties into the story, and it might offer a clue as to just what might be going on.

Christie wrote with careful attention to detail. In fact, every moment serves a purpose, whether to lead the reader on a path, or dissuade the reader from the actuality of intent. In other words, pay attention to the way [|Dame Christie] weaves around words and scenarios, because quite frankly, it’s VERY important. The ending of this book will have you scratching your head up until the very end, right where all is revealed. You might just have an //ah ha// moment.
