Readers and the Poison GardenReviewsNominated by Content Prize Committee for International Crime Fiction Association, Second Runner Up Selection, 2022“Agatha Christie and the Guilty Pleasure of Poison, Sylvia A. PamboukianThis book has the lovely premise of Christie’s female poisoners as outlaws; rebels, justified seekers of revenge and retribution. Conducting useful comparisons with other iconic authors this book is full of interest. Following the current trend that sees Christie as a pioneer interested in subversion rather than conservative, reactionary and formulaic this book gives an exciting and unexpected reading of her work.” (Ruth Heholt, Linda Ledford-Miller and Kerstin-Anja Münderlein, ICFA - International Crime Fiction Association Newsletter, October, 2023) Author InformationFormerly a pharmacist, Dr. Sylvia A.
