Agatha Christie

Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, two widely diverse detectives, are two of her most well-known creations. Clarissa Margaret Boehmer and a rich American stockbroker welcomed Agatha Christie into the world in Torquay, Devon in 1890. She moved to Paris in 1905 to attend finishing schools in the hopes of pursuing a career as a singer, but she soon realized her voice wasn't powerful enough. The first Agatha Christie book was released in 1920. Hercule Poirot, a detective who at the time was presented as a Belgian exile from the Great War, made an appearance in her debut book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920), which she also wrote. Hercule Poirot, a haughty and impeccable detective, appears in more than 40 novels by Agatha Christie. Miss Marple, a retiring yet clever old woman, was Agatha Christie's favored great detective. She passed away in 1976 at the age of 85 from natural causes, although it's possible that she had some dementia in her later years.
