Who did it?

Who killed the man in the boat house? Who poisoned the rich young heiress? And what happened on the Orient Express? All these questions, and more, can be answered by Agatha Christie.

This is Greenway, Agatha Christie's holiday house on the Devon coast. She spent a lot of time here and her daughter made it her permanent family home before giving it to the National Trust.

The house is Georgian, but it was Agatha's during the 20th century, and is filled with her collections, eg, china, pill boxes, paintings, shells etc, etc.

This is Agatha aged five. Under the painting on the chair is the doll she is holding.
 First editions of her books.
Sitting room. Every thing has been left just as if the family were still there.
The library with a frieze painted on the wall by US navy men who used her house during WWII. Agatha liked it, so she kept it.
