# Agatha Christie

> She built the architecture of the modern whodunit - misdirection as precision craft, the least-likely-suspect reveal, the closed circle of guilt. Her books have sold over two billion copies, making her the best-selling novelist in history, and The Mousetrap has run in London's West End since 1952 without closing.

## Bio

Born into a wealthy family in Torquay in 1890, Christie was home-schooled and faced six straight rejections before The Mysterious Affair at Styles introduced Hercule Poirot in 1920. She married Archibald Christie in 1914; after her mother's death and the collapse of that marriage in 1926, she disappeared for 11 days, making international headlines. Working in hospital dispensaries during both world wars gave her an expert's knowledge of poisons. In 1930 she married archaeologist Max Mallowan and spent months each year on digs in the Middle East, details that seeped into her fiction. She created Miss Marple in 1930 and Tommy and Tuppence in 1922, wrote six novels under the name Mary Westmacott, and in 1971 was made a Dame for her contributions to literature. And Then There Were None has sold roughly 100 million copies; UNESCO lists her as the most-translated individual author. She died in 1976, having written 66 detective novels and 14 short-story collections - the gold standard and working blueprint of an entire genre.
