About the Event

What better hostess than Dame Agatha Christie herself to greet you for an enlightening evening at this historic Queen Anne-style mansion on the shores of Geneva Lake? Experience an intimate tour of the first floor of Black Point Estate as well as a conversation on our veranda with the most successful mystery writer of the 20th century, brought to life by local historian and actress Chris Brookes. Christie will discuss her literary career, including her most famous novel “Murder on the Orient Express” and her wildly successful play “Mousetrap.”

Brookes has loved Geneva Lake all her life. Her passion for the history of the area developed as she grew up living on the Northwestern Military Academy campus with her family. She is active in numerous civic organizations, including the Friends of the Lake Geneva Library, The Lake Geneva Historic Preservation Commission, Geneva Lake Theater Association and the Lake Geneva Authorfest.
