Recipe for Murder: Agatha Christie's Forensics Through the Eyes of a Forensic Scientist
9.99 €
In this book, Carla Valentine reveals how Agatha Christie managed to keep up with the latest developments in forensic science and even develop it through such beloved characters as Poirot and Miss Marple. Valentine lists the methods described in Christie's books and details the discovery of each one. According to the author, Agatha Christie was a pioneer of forensic science, even though the science did not yet exist in her time. In her novels, she wrote about analyzing fingerprints and blood spatter, traceology, firearms, document matching, and more. Poirot could easily determine which weapon fired the bullet, and Miss Marple was a master at analyzing blood spatter. Christie liked to kill the heroes of her books with all sorts of poisons, which is explained by her work in a pharmacy during both world wars. Agatha Christie always relied on the principle of "every contact leaves a trace" to link killer and victim through crime scene evidence.
