Agatha Christie captures her readers with ingenious plot and surprising turns of events. Her books have sold over 2 billion copies in more than 103 languages--outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. This best-selling author of all time is also a devoted lover of classical music, who had dreamt about performing on stage as a vocalist, composer or pianist. “The murderer is with us”—set off on the Orient Express, down the troubling Nile, struggle in the mousetrap, and then there were none-- this concert traces her steps in music throughout her novels, plays and life, returning to the crime scenes together with detective Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. A tribute to the queen of murder.
