It was finally revealed to the world and told everyone how the story of Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings ended. She survived, but the book stayed locked in a safe until the 1970s. She wrote it during the Second World War, to be published in case she was killed during the war. I’m feeling very sentimental today because with this review, I have reached an end – having finished Curtain, I have now read all of her mysteries. The world has changed since then, but my admiration and love for Christie and her work has only grown. It was Death in the Clouds, and I was hooked from the very first moment. 2009, most likely, as I was just finishing university and it was a lecture there that had inspired me to finally pick up one of her novels. The exact date I first picked up an Agatha Christie novel is lost to me now it was before I had started recording everything I read. “Who is there who has not felt a sudden startled pang at reliving an old experience, or feeling an old emotion?”
