Agatha Christie
The reigning queen of crime,Agatha Christie's life took her from her home in the Devon countryside to Cairo,Australia and,of course,a journey on the Orient Express. She created two of the most famous detectives in literature,the moustached Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot and the deceptively genteel village investigator Miss Marple,as well as creating the longest running stage playThe Mousetrap.
