Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime was born at Torquay, Devonshire. She was educated at home and took singing lessons in Paris. At the end of World War I she began writing. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles appeared in 1920. Here she created Hercule Poirot, the little Belgian detective with the egg-shaped head and the passion for order – the most popular sleuth in fiction since Sherlock Holmes. General recognition came with the publication of her sixth title, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1926). With Murder at the Vicarage (1930) Agatha Christie began a series of novels featuring Miss Marple, this time a lady detective who won a universal appeal for her wise but unimposing methods of unraveling a crime.

Beginning with 1952 Agatha Christie enjoyed another run of success with theatre adaptations of her fiction and plays (The Mousetrap is still staged after thirty years). many of her stories have been filmed including The Secret Adversary, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (cinema title Alibi), Ten Little Niggers, Murder on the Orient Express and Witness for the Prosecution, the most famous of them. Agatha Christie also wrote six romantic novels under the pen-name Mary Westmacott. Her last Poirot book, Curtain, appeared shortly before her death (though written in the 1940s) and her last Miss Marple story, Sleeping Murder and her Autobiography were published posthumously.

She is the author of seventy-seven detective novels and books of stories that have been translating into every major language.

Ahatha Christie’s success with millions of readers cannot be accounted for by the name fact that her simple prose provided good entertainment; the explanation lies in her ability to combine clever plots with excellent character drawing, and a keen sense of humour with great powers of observation that result in social scenery of a wide range. Besides her books seem to proclaim that justice will prevail and evil will be conquered even by one man’s effort; they defend rationality and never go beyond those aspects of human nature that are our common stock.
