She wrote 66 novels, 14 short story collections, and 16 plays. Her novels have sold over 2 billion copies in English and another 200 million in at least 40 foreign languages.
Christie also wrote under the pseudonym of Mary Westmacott. Her identity behind this name was later revealed by a journalist in 1949.
Christie worked in a hospital dispensary in the First World War where she acquired a wide knowledge of poisons. She used cyanide the most as a method of dispatching her fictional victims.
She mysteriously disappeared for in Dec 1926. More than one thousand policemen were assigned to find her. After 11 days she was safely found at a hotel in Harrogate. When asked Christie about the happening, she remembered nothing.
There are plenty of theories about her disappearance, including a loss of memory, a breakdown, or that she planned to embarrass her husband.
