Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie (15 September 1890 – 12 January 1976) was a British author, best known as the "Queen of Crime". Born in Torquay, England, she wrote over 80 novels, plays and collections of short stories, and her works have been translated into over 100 languages, making her one of the best-selling authors of all time.
Her first novel, The Mysterious Incident at Styles (1920), introduced the famous detective Hercule Poirot, who would become one of the most famous characters in detective fiction. Another famous character she created was Miss Marple, a wise and perceptive old woman from the village.
Among her best-known works are Murder on the Orient Express, Ten Little Black Men (later known as And There Were None Left), and Death on the Nile. Her plots are known for their intricate mysteries, surprising twists and logical reasoning.
Christie is also the author of the longest-running stage play in history, The Mousetrap, which has been performed continuously in London since 1952.
She worked as a pharmacist during World War II, which helped her to portray poison realistically in her novels. Her works remain extremely popular today, and many have been adapted into films and TV series.
