is the undisputed master of crime fiction. When another of her best-selling novels was ready, the writer headed for Devon. This is where her holiday house in the Gregorian style, in which she rested, stands to this day. Christie, known locally as Mrs. Mallowan, used to come to Greenway with her family to play cricket, golf, relax by the river or read the latest suspense stories to their loved ones.
Over 100 people trapped in Agatha Christie’s house
Today, the building is open to tourists for most of the year. Christie and her family brought many items from the author’s family home to the place, which are an unusual treat for fans of the writer’s books. Christie’s grandson, Mathew Prichard, is waiting for lovers of crime fiction, who personally shows guests around the house and garden and shares his memories of his late grandmother.
The house enjoys unflagging popularity, as evidenced by crowds of visitors. On one of the summer days of this year, the building was visited by over a hundred people who had to stay in the residence longer than expected. Christie’s mystery fans have been trapped among their idol’s memorabilia.

Like NME, the weather conditions around the Greenway were extremely terrible at the time. Rain and strong wind knocked over an old tree growing near the house. Unfortunately, it fell on the road leading to Christie’s property. For visitors, this meant one thing – no possibility of getting out of the building for the next time.
A spokesperson for the National Trust, the organization that manages the property, said visitors were provided with the most comfortable waiting conditions and every effort was made to resolve the issue as soon as possible. The network did not compare the situation to Christie’s cult novel “And Then There Were None”. In the book, a group of strangers find themselves in a mansion in Devon and die in mysterious circumstances.
This time there was no homicide in the building. After a few hours, the tourists safely left the writer’s property. As a result of a strong storm, Agatha Christie’s house was closed. The owners did not say how long they needed to repair the damage caused by the unruly weather.
