5 Psychological Thriller Books for Fans of Agatha Christie

The “Queen of Crime,” Agatha Christie, perfected the art of the whodunit with over 80 published crime fictionbooks, including novels and short story collections. A major part of Christie’s mystery blueprint, besides her iconic detective leads, is the closed-circle plot device. Often trapping a group of characters in an enigmatic, immersive, and isolated setting, such as a moving train in Murder on the Orient Express or a lavish steamboat in Death on the Nile, Christie builds suspense by exploring a limited pool of suspects who can’t flee the scene.
