 Announcing Absolute Justice!

 

A big announcement– the third book in my “Nonfiction Crime and Criticism” series is coming soon!  This one is Absolute Justice: The History and Legacy of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None.  This book is more than just a critical deep dive into the novel’s plot, hidden clues, characters, and themes, it explores the film, television, stage, radio, game, and other adaptations, parodies, and the book’s lasting impact on multiple genres. 

 

Here’s the back cover copy:

 

It’s the world’s bestselling mystery novel and one of the most popular books of all time.  But despite its fame, the complex history and cultural impact of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None is largely unknown to most readers.  Absolute Justice analyzes the book’s characters and hidden clues, describes the novel’s many stage, screen, and other media adaptations, and explores how And Then There Were None became a cultural phenomenon, reshaping not just the crime genre, but the horror genre as well, inspired fans all over the world, and even raised the spirits of WWII prisoners of war.

 

And here’s the cover art!

 

 

Absolute Justice should be released within the next two months– specific release date details will be announced soon!
