In 1971, she was made a Dame (DBE) for her contributions to literature. Guinness World Records lists Christie as the best-selling fiction writer of all time, her novels having sold more than two billion copies.

HERCULE POIROT

Poirot is best known for his iconic mustaches and using his “little grey cells” to solve the most puzzling cases from the right set of clues. A Belgian private detective who used to be a policeman, Poirot is often accompanied by Captain Arthur Hastings, who acts as the Watson to his Holmes. Poirot loves to gather all the suspects and slowly explain how he’s solved the case. Many Poirot mysteries involve exotic locales and rich people, since Poirot himself is a wealthy man who keeps insisting he is retired. There are over 30 Poirot novels and over 50 short stories.

The ABC Murders (1935)

Despite advance warnings, Poirot is unable to prevent the murders of Alice Ascher, Betty Barnard and Carmichael Clarke. Can he stop the ABC Killer before he reaches D? One of the earliest examples of the “serial killer” novel this classic Christie is based on a beautifully simple premise. But how many readers are as clever as Poirot?

Agatha Christie became, and remains, the best-selling novelist of all time. She is best known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, as well as the world’s longest-running play – The Mousetrap. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and a billion in translation.
