This book is the first fully theorized queer reading§of a Golden Age British crime writer. Agatha Christie was the most commercially§successful novelist of the twentieth century, and her fiction remains popular.§She created such memorable characters as Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple, and§has become synonymous with a nostalgic, conservative tradition of crime§fiction. J.C. Bernthal reads Christie through the lens of queer theory,§uncovering a playful, alert, and subversive social commentary. After§considering Christie's emergence in a commercial market hostile to her sex, in Queering§Agatha Christie Bernthal explores homophobic stereotypes, gender§performativity, queer children, and masquerade in key texts published between§1920 and 1952. Christie engaged with debates around human identity in a unique§historical period affected by two world wars. The final chapter considers§twenty-first century Poirot and Marple adaptations, with visible§LGBT characters, and poses the question: might the books be queerer?
