📝 About the Author
Agatha Christie (1890–1976), widely celebrated as the "Queen of Crime," remains the best-selling novelist in history, with over two billion copies of her works sold worldwide. Born in Torquay, England, she was largely homeschooled and later served as a volunteer nurse during World War I, where her work in a hospital pharmacy provided her with a lethal expertise in poisons that would define many of her plots. Over a prolific career, she authored 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, introducing the world to legendary characters like the meticulous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the sharp-witted amateur sleuth Miss Marple. Beyond her novels, Christie holds the record for the world's longest-running play, The Mousetrap, and even made international headlines in 1926 with her own real-life mystery—an unexplained 11-day disappearance. Her travels to archaeological sites in the Middle East with her second husband, Max Mallowan, further enriched her writing, inspiring classics such as Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile.
