For fifteen years Agatha Christie managed to keep a secret from the world. The secret was that she also published six novels under the name Mary Westmacott. These were not crime novels - Christie described them as "straights novels".
Part romance, part autobiographical, they give a fascinating insight into another aspect of Christie's work and are well worth reading in their own right.
