"Reading Christie Like a Flapper" Still Available on The Wickeds Website

"Reading Christie Like a Flapper" Still Available on The Wickeds Website

In case you missed it, on March 4, I was lucky enough to be a guest blogger on The Wickeds website. I wrote a little about the hows and whys of writing Agatha Annoted in a post called "Reading Christie Like a Flapper." 

The Wickeds are a group of six women from the New England area who write "wicked good mysteries." The authors write under the names Jessie Crockett/Jessica Ellicott/Jessica Estevao, Sherry Harris, J.A. Hennrikus/Julia Henry/Julianne Holmes, Edith Maxwell/Maddie Day, Liz Mugavero/Cate Conte, Barbara Ross. All of them are successful and prolific and they post something on The Wicked website every single day. Amazing!

One way to come up with content is to invite guest bloggers, which is how I became involved. Author Barbara Ross attended one of my "Poirot" presentations in January. She stayed after to talk and later asked if I'd like to write a blog post for The Wickeds website. Of course I said "yes!" It was great fun and a great opportunity.

If you didn't get a chance to read "Reading Christie Like a Flapper," you still can on The Wickeds website. While you're there, check out the other posts and the books these talented women have authored.

What is Agatha Annotated?

This website is the home of the Agatha Christie database as annotated by Kate Gingold, hence the name Agatha Annotated.

It's a rich glossary of

  • nearly 1900 terms
  • over 200 illustrations
  • 347 French phrases

Kate found them while reading Agatha Christie novels, and wrote them, along with definitions curated from years of research, into this database.

Currently the first 11 Christie books, those she wrote in the 1920s, are annotated here. 

Anybody can be a member and gain access to this rich glossary. Visit the Community page to learn the details.

We took the 1920s terms and published a book, Agatha Annotated: Investigating the Books of the 1920s, now available on Amazon in Paperback or Kindle format.

Kate will be adding to the database and members get the new terms and definitions first before the second volume is printed, plus members can comment and ask questions about the terms and Kate and other members can reply.

We hope you enjoy. Click around the pages to learn more.
