Agatha Christie's grandson says the creator of Poirot and Miss Marple was primarily interested in entertaining her readers. Critic Michael Dirda says that's why we read – purely for pleasure. And Richard Price talks about his best-selling novel "Lush Life" and why no one will ever mistake it for genre fiction.
