Times Literary Supplement 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 countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and
short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary
Westmacott.
