Agatha Christie Walkthrough

Welcome the site Queen of Crime DAME AGATHA CHRISTIE
AGATHA CHRISTIE is one of my most favorite authors. Her novels are best mystery
novels since novels of SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE. She wrote seventy six detective novels and books of stories and six romantic novels under the pseudonym MARY WESTMACOTT. Her novels has been translated into every major languages , and her sales are calculated in tens of millions .She is the most widely published author of all time and in language , outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare . She was awarded the DAME OF BRITISH EMPIRE in 1971.She began writing at the end of first world war, that is why the condition of post war England was beautifully picturized in many novels of her. I like her novels not only for they are very good detective stories but also for authors writing style .According to her mentality of people are always same irrespective of time and place , this idea of her also reflected in her novels . Her novels are based on psychological deduction of crime instead of running after some physical clues, according to her detectives clues are found in the conversation of various people because people internally prone to tell the truth for telling truth is easier than lies. Time period and place of her novels is vast , ranging from 2000B.C. in Egypt ( Death comes as the end) to second half of late 20th century (postern of fate) . The Mousetrap , her most famous play of all , opened in 1952 and is the longest running play in history. That is why she will be remembered as QUEEN of CRIME forever.
