Bio
Agatha Christie was an English writer celebrated for her prodigious output of detective fiction—66 novels and 14 short-story collections—and for creating the enduring sleuths Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. A leading figure of the Golden Age of detective fiction, she mastered locked‑room puzzles and closed‑circle mysteries, producing classics such as Murder on the Orient Express and And Then There Were None, and wrote The Mousetrap, the world's longest‑running play. Her spare plotting, ingenious red herrings and well-researched use of poisons made her novels both puzzling and deeply satisfying, and her books have become the best‑selling fiction of all time, widely translated and adapted for stage, screen and radio. Christie's influence reshaped the mystery genre and continues to define popular expectations of the whodunit.
