About the author

Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, DBE, born on September 15, 1890, in Torquay, Devon, England, stands preeminent in the field of mystery and detective fiction. She is unequivocally recognized as the 'Queen of Crime' and is best known for her sixty-six detective novels, numerous short story collections, and her successful West End plays. Christie's beguiling literary craft is exemplified through her adept use of plot twists, red herrings, and the development of iconic characters like Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. 'Poirot Investigates' (1924), a collection of short stories, features her famed Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, whose shrewd intellect and astute observational skills solve seemingly impenetrable cases. Her utilization of a 'closed circle of suspects' in many of her works has become a hallmark of the genre. Christie's contribution to literature was acknowledged with the title Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1971. Her books have sold billions of copies in English and translated editions, making her tales of intrigue among the world's best-selling and widely translated. Christie's ingenuity lies not only in her complex plots but in the enduring appeal of her character-driven narratives. She passed away on January 12, 1976, but her legacy endures, perpetually captivating and enchanting readers with every mystery that unfolds within the pages of her work.
