Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie (1890-1976) was born on September 15, 1890 in Torquay, Devonshire. She was the third child of Clarissa and Frederick Miller, and grew into a beautiful girl with waist-length golden hair. She didnt go to school. She was educated at home by her mother and took singing lessons in Paris. She began writing detective fiction while working as a nurse during World War I. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was published in 1920. That was the first appearance of Hercule Poirot, who became one of the most popular private detectives. This little Belgian amazed everyone by his powerful intellect and his brilliant solutions to the most complicated crimes.

The elderly Miss Jane Marple, Christies other principal detective figure, first appeared in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1926), which is considered Christies masterpiece. It was followed by some 75 novels that usually made bestseller lists. Her plays include The Mousetrap, which set a world record for the longest continuous run at one theatre (8862 performances more than 21 years at the Ambassadors Theatre, London).
Agatha Christies success with millions of readers lies in her entertaining plots, excellent character drawing, a great sense of humour. The reader cannot guess who the criminal is up to the end of the novel. Fortunately, evil is always punished in her novels.
