Agatha Christie is probably one of the most famous mystery writers of all time. She was born in England in 1890 and died at the age of 84. During her writing career, she wrote 66 crime novels and 19 plays.

Her first novel, the Mysterious Affair at Styles, was written towards the end of the First World War. In it, she created Hercule Poirot, the little Belgian detective who was destined to be the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes.

Her female detective, Miss Marple was introduced in a short story, The Tuesday Night Club, published in 1927. It's interesting to note that Agatha Christie never wrote a book where both of her detectives, Poirot and Miss Marple, appear. She revealed the reason for this. "Poirot is ego-centric and would not like being taught his business or having to take suggestions made to him by an elderly spinster lady."
Agatha Christie's books have sold over a billion copies in the English language, with another billion in 44 foreign languages.
Her most famous novel, "Murder on the Orient Express" was made into a sensational film.

Here is a short interview with "the woman of crime".
-----Tell me please, why do you believe your books are so popular, especially with woman.
..........I think women read my books to escape from the usual routine of daily life.
-----I noticed that very often you use poison in your stories, instead of a revolver. Is there any particular reason for this preference?
..........Oh yes, I don't  understand very much about revolvers. Instead during the First World war, I acquired a wide range of knowledge of different kinds of poisons. Poison is clean and safe!
-----I was told you receive hundreds of letters a day from your fans.
..........Yes, I do, and not only from housewives. There are letters from doctor, lawyers, heads of state and Prime Ministers.
-----Is it true that your books are translated into more languages than Shakespeare?
......... Yes, it's quite an honor for me.
-----And it has been an honor for me to have talked with you. Thank you very much.

The students who have read a book by Agatha Christie can talk about it and perhaps there can also be a discussion about a modern day "woman of crime" author.

I always enjoy the Mary Higgins Clark novels. "The Cradle Will Fall" is my favourite.
The above interview can also stimulate the students to write up their own interviews. I already spoke about this in my blog post 25.
