I love this article ! :)

Great article. I have always wondered what Christie would have been if she couldn't write. Poisoner is always up near the top.

Can't believe it's the 125th anniversary of her birth on the 15th of September. Time flies!

Interesting. Thanks, Robert.

I always wondered about Dame Agatha Christie and her poisons. Most were often untraceable. But I'm going to end up spoiling these books which I haven't read by reading this article. Oh well. I doubt it will help me solve the mystery anyway. Intriguing article

An excellent article. I always knew Christie's poisonings were solid because she had a background in pharmacology but it is interesting to read about it in depth.

Don't worry! The article doesn't say WHO committed the crime, just the means.

In The Mysterious Affair at Styles is the poison used strychnine or arsenic?

Strychnine (:

Great article!
