The queen of crime writing cultivated a public persona that allowed her to keep much of her personal life a mystery. But her later writings provide some fascinating insights. This dramatisation of Christie's life recalls her experiences of nursing during the First World War, her marriages to a war hero and an archaeologist, and her little-known travels in Iran - revealing the author as an independent-minded and intelligent woman with a mischievous sense of humour.
