Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie was an English crime novelist and playwright. She also wrote six romances under the name Mary Westmacott, but is best known for the detective novels and 14 short story collections she wrote under her own name, most of which revolve around the investigations of such characters as Hercule Poirot, Miss Jane Marple and Tommy and Tuppence.
