Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie, also known as Mary Westmacott, was a famous writer. She was taught by her mother at home and she studied the piano and singing in Paris too.

In 1914 she got married to a pilot and they had a daughter.

She started writing detective stories when she was a nurse. She used all that she had learnt about drugs and poisons for her novels.

Her first novel was published in 1920. Hercules Poirot was a Belgian detective and he was the main character too. She became famous when this book became a best-seller.

Agatha Christie mysteriously disappeared in 1928. She was found two weeks later by the police. When they found her, she was suffering from amnesia and she didn't remember anything. In all the British newspaper this was front-page news. Today nobody knows what happened to her when she was missing for two weeks. Soon after that, she got divorced.

In 1929, when she was on Holiday in Baghdad, she met and fell in love with a famous archaeologist. They went home to England on the Orient Express and got married in 1930.

She travelled with her husband to the Middle East many times, so she wrote a lot of stories about this place.

She also wrote plays. The most famous being the “Mousetrap”. This play opened in a West End theatre in 1952 and it is still running today.
Before Agatha Christie (Mary Westmacott) died in January 1976, she had written nearly eighty detective stories and some romantic novels too.
