In the years of World War I Agata
Miller worked as the nurse in
military hospital, studied
pharmacology. In the same time, in
breaks between watches, I started
writing detective stories. Her first
novel, "The Mysterious Affair at
Styles" was published in 1920. That
was the first appearance of Hercule
Poirot, who became one of the most
famous private detectives since
Sherlock Holmes. By her own
words, Agate started composing
from simple imitation the sister who
was already printed in magazines.

The young writer considered
that readers with prejudice will
treat that the author of detectives
is the woman, and wanted to
take itself a pseudonym Martin
West or Mostin Gray. The
publisher insisted on
preservation own a name and a
surname of the writer, having
convinced her that the name of
Agate was rare and was
remembered.

The novels which weren't belonging to detective, left under Mary
Uestmakkot's (Mary Westmacott) pseudonym. In total under this
pseudonym was published 10 novels. In the press Agatha
Christie's first novel ("A mysterious crime in Staylse"; The
Mysterious Affair at Styles) appeared in 1920. Then there "was"
also a private detective Belgian Hercule Poirot (Hercule Poirot)
who has appeared further by the hero of 25 detective novels of
Agatha Christie. The debut of other "private detective" - Ms.
Marple (Miss Marple) - took place in 1930 when to the public
there was a novel "The Murder at the Vicarage“. The real reader's
success came to Agatha Christie in 1926 when on counters the
novel "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" was published.

In 1926 mother Agate died, and her husband, colonel Archibald Christie,
demanded divorce. Agatha Christie's reaction was so unexpected that the
writer in the future hardly could explain it: Agate disappeared. Within
several days it strenuously looked for and, at last, found in the hotel,
registered under a name... the woman whom her husband was going to
marry. In 1928 marriage Agate and Archibald Christie from whom daughter
Rosalinda (Rosalind) was born, broke up. In 1930 Agatha Christie married
again, the archeologist of sir Max Mallovan (Sir Max Mallowan). Since
then it periodically spent some months in a year in Syria and Iraq in
expeditions together with the husband. Agatha Christie on January 12, 1976
in Wellington, Oxfordshire died. At present (September 2003) Agatha
Christie's grandson lives in England - Matthew Prichard (Mathew Prichard).

The last Poirot book, The Curtain, appeared shortly before the writer's death,
and the last Miss Marple story, The Sleeping Murder, and her autobiography
were published after her death.
Agatha Christie's success with millions of readers lies in her ability to combine
clever plots with excellent character drawing and a keen sense of humour
with a great observation. Her plots always mislead the reader and keep him
in suspense. He cannot guess who the criminal is. Fortunately, evil is always
conquered in her novels.
Agatha Christies language is simple and good and it is pleasant to read her
books in the original.
