Some analyse the art itself; some explain the reasons for her success, not just the books, but also in film and theatre.\\n\\nThe approaches are penetrating, affectionate, enthusiastic, analytical, funny - even critical. Together, they give an almost unique insight into the life and work of the First Lady of Crime.'
