Birmingham Post Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and
became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first
novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the
First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the
most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is
known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold
over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in
over 100 foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and
short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary
Westmacott.
