Celebrating Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie, the "Queen of Crime," is the best-selling fiction writer of all time, with an estimated two billion copies sold, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her prolific career includes sixty-six detective novels and fourteen short story collections, which introduced the iconic sleuths Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Her influence extends to theatre, where her play The Mousetrap holds the record for the longest initial run in modern history.
