Abstract
This paper endeavors to discuss how to determine lie detection in detective fictions, taking three of the most famous works written by Agatha Christie for data------Death on the Nile, The ABC murder, In the Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Methodologically, the research will use conversation analysis, together with body language. In order to find out how to distinguish truth in conversation, this paper analyzes context of conversation and body language, throughout data in three books. This paper finds that the context of conversation between detectives and suspects is crucial in judging criminals, and body language benefits most for revealing lies. The integration of the two helps determine lie detection, ultimately contributing to catching criminals.

This paper is going to research lie detection in detective fictions. It will study the linguistic approach to lie detection based on three novels by Agatha Christie. It is found that detectives always integrate conversation analysis with other factors——context of conversation and body language, to detect lies.
Compared with serious novels, detective fictions should be classified into a different group. The purposes of detective novels are mainly for entertainment. Since mankind has always been keen to solve a riddle, detective stories appeal right to human desire. Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie are shinning stars as detective novelists, among whom particularly Agatha Christie is honored as ‘mistress of mystery’ (Qiang Zhaohong, 2017). Agatha Christie plays a very important role in the history of detective fictions.
