The Queens of Crime

Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers had to fight for respect in a man's world. They used their stories to prove women were the smartest people in the room.

The detection club feels like a secret refuge for these geniuses. It was where they could finally drop their guard and just be brilliant together.

“I have been so very tired.”

Agatha Christie's famous disappearance was a breaking point, not a stunt. It shows how much pressure she was under to keep up appearances.
