Program Description
Event Details
Agatha Christie and her mystery novels bring to mind English country houses and railway journeys to the Riviera, but there are some surprising connections between Christie and Chicago. Follow the Chicago clues in Agatha Christie’s books in this presentation by Kate Gingold, local history writer and author of Agatha Annotated: Investigating the Books of the 1920s.
Kate Gingold writes about marketing during the day, but history is her passion. Kate’s first book, Ruth by Lake and Prairie, was honored by the Illinois State Historical Society. More history books followed, including her latest, an Agatha Christie glossary.
