THE WORLD'S GREATETST MYSTERY WRITER
Agatha Christie has been called the world's greatest mystery writer. William Shakespeare is the only
English author whose works have been translated more often than Christie's. She wrote approximately one
novel a year to produce a final total of more than 80 books.
When Agatha was a young girl in England, she hoped to become a great singer. After lessons in Paris,
she realized that her voice was not good enough. It was some time, though, before her first novel was accepted
by a publisher. Once published, the book was successful, and from that time on, many more success were to
follow. Many readers become fascinated with Hercule Poirot, the clever Belgian detective of Christie's
mysterious stories.
Agatha liked to say that she got her best story ideas while sitting in the bathtub eating apples. Although
her mystery stories concern murders, she did not emphasize violence for its own sale. Two of her best known
novels are "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd' and "Ten little Indians". One of her plays "The Mousetrap", opened
in London in 1952, and when it was given for the 800th time in 1972, it had broken the record for continuous
performances.
