Agatha
Mary Clarissa Miller (or Agatha Cristie ) was born on September the
15th 1890 in Torquay, Devon and she died on January the
12th 1976 at age 85 from natural causes.
She
was a famous English
crime writer of novels and short stories. She is best remembered for
the 66 detective novels and 14 short
stories collections
she wrote under her own name. Agatha Christie was also famous for her
characters: Hercule Poirot, Miss Jane Marple and Tommy and Tuppence.
Agatha is nicknamed «
the queen of crime »
Agatha
met Archibald Christie
(her first husband) at a dance given by Lord and Lady Clifford of
Chudleigh but in 1926, Archibald asked for a divorce; he was in love
with Nancy Neele.
In
1930, Christie married an archaeologist : Max Mallowan. She
frequently used settings which
were familiar to her for her stories. And, in 1934 Agatha wrote her
famous novel: Murder on the Orient Express, in Istanbul.
In
the first World War, she worked
in a hospital.
Her
characters (Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple) are very famous but they
are very different; Hercule Poirot is Belgian
and full
of himself (pretentious), he
is a
private detective
but Miss Marple is an
old woman, she
reminds us of Agatha Cristie, but they have an exceptional sense
of observation. I
really love reading
her novels because in her novels there
are a lot of suspense, twists (surprise) in the plot.
