About Mary Westmacott
Mary Westmacott was the pen name Agatha Christie used for six romantic and psychological novels written outside her famous mystery output, published between 1930 and 1956. Christie adopted the pseudonym specifically to write character-driven domestic and romantic fiction free of the expectations attached to her name as the world's bestselling mystery novelist, and she guarded the identity closely for years, with only a small circle aware of the connection.
