About Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie was an English mystery writer whose 66 detective novels and 14 short-story collections helped define twentieth-century crime fiction. Her enduring stage success, *The Mousetrap*, became the world’s longest-running play, while she also published fiction under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. Born in Torquay in 1890, Christie remained an influential figure in popular literature until her death in 1976.
