Recently for school I have been reading some Agatha Christie
novels. So for an assignment I am going to write about Agatha
Christie.
Agatha Christie was born September 15th 1890. She started writing short stories when she was 18 and her first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was published in 1920 when she was 30 years old. When she was 24 she married a man named Archie Christie, he was a World War I fighter pilot. While he was fighting Agatha worked as a nurse. In 1926 Archie asked for a divorce, and Agatha disappeared. She was found 3 weeks later and she claimed that she had lost her memory. So no one really told her about Archie. In 1930 she remarried a guy name Max Mallowan. At the end of it all, she had written over 66 novels, as well as many short stories and screenplays. She also wrote a series of romantic novels under the pen name of Mary Westmacott.

Thanks for this info. I've never read any of her works but know her name! I am curious if you know at what point she became popular. Was it in her life time? Nice write up. Which of her works have you like best?
