In Travels With Agatha Christie, the celebrated Poirot actor replicates an international expedition which Agatha Christie undertook herself in the 1920s. Traveling to the stunning landscapes of Canada, Hawaii, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, David offers candid reflections on his visits, told with his trademark charm and warmth, along with an astounding collection of his own extraordinary photography.

Following in the footsteps of the great crime writer, David says: ’Having spent a quarter of a century personifying Agatha Christie’s iconic character of Hercule Poirot, I now feel so honoured to embark upon a journey around the world, as myself - in the footsteps of possibly the greatest crime writer of all time. I feel that she will be sitting on my shoulders at every moment urging me on to share her passion for knowledge, travel, archaeology, and of course, mystery.’

Tying into a five-part Channel 4 documentary series due to air in March this year, this book will delve even deeper into David’s experiences travelling, his love of Christie’s writing and, of course, his relationship with the character he so brilliantly brought to life.
