Agatha Christie (15th September 1890-12th January 1976)
Agatha Christie was a mystery writer who was one of the world's top-selling authors of crime and romantic novels. She is best remembered for her detective stories including the two diverse characters of Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot.
Agatha Christie was born Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller on September 15, 1890, in Torquay, Devon, in the southwest part of England. She married an aviator in the Royal Flying Corps – Archibald Christie in December 1914 and took up nursing during World War I, she published her first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in 1920.
This featured the soon-to-be-famous detective – Hercule Poirot, who at the time was portrayed as a Belgian refugee from the Great War. The book sold well and helped meet the public’s great appetite for detective novels. In 1926, Christie released The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, a hit which was later marked as a genre classic and one of the author's all-time favorites.
But, in the year 1928 unfortunately the marriage was somewhat turbulent and ended in divorce.
In 1930, she married her second husband, Max Mallowan. This marriage was happier, though her only child, Rosalind Hicks, came from her first marriage.
Poirot and Marple are Christie's most well-known detectives, and she wrote more than 70 novels as well as short fiction. She died on 12th January 1976 aged 85 years.
