The Best-Selling Fiction Novelist or a Real-life Mystery?
In the world of literature, one name is forever engrained. Whenever we look out for the greats, there is one name which appears in every reader’s list. For all book lovers and avid book fans, this one’s for you. A sneak -peek into the life of one writer who defied all odds at a time before women empowerment was even a thing. An author and playwright, Agatha Christie, is known for her most notable contributions in the world of literature through her mystery stories, which have managed to enchant the generations and many more to come.
Dame Agatha Christie is regarded profoundly as one of the most prominent English crime writers of all time, later came to be called the Queen of Mystery, Queen of Crime, etc.
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing”
A storyteller dwells across the imaginary streets of ideas that he/she wants the world to pay a visit to. Agatha gave it a new way of life with her remarkable storytelling nuances that visualised from the contemporary art of observational learning. In layman’s language, the account of real-life experiences that you come across, you weave them into narrative accounts via the means of intricate stories. Her stories contain numerous character arcs that are groomed around the notions of ordinary life and are an exemplary display of fundamental human nature.
It’s the name that we know. For what’s in the story, only some are privileged to have heard of it.
Let us have an in-depth glance into the person behind such magnificent works. As all her mystery novels, her personal story is nothing short of a thriller, a lot of mystery and hidden stories around her name still surrounds today.
A quiet woman by nature very little is known of her as a person. It is a story which will definitely raise your interest and a journey nothing short of a thriller, a page right out of any of her famous mystery novels. One of the astounding feats which she holds posthumously is the title of The Most Read Novelist. A best selling fiction writer of all time, a title that rests against her name till date, her novel “And Then There Were None” is the highest-selling mystery thriller of all time.
After a successful career as a novelist, she took on the stage and began her works as a playwright. Her plays met with such universal acclaim that one of her works “The Mousetrap” holds the Guinness Book of World Record for longest-running theatrical play in history. It commenced in 1952 and has been running for over 60 years now. However, there was a halt in the successful run of the play due to the immediate corona pandemic.
To understand Agatha better, one must know the characters that she had introduced to the world. Her famous array of characters include Hercule Poirot, the Belgian sleuth; Miss Jane Marple, the detective granny; and Tommy & Tuppence, the amateur detective couple. Each character has made its way to the hearts of its readers in its unique way. Her most admired character named Poirot has been adopted in different formats, as forms of television series, movies and theatrical plays. He became a part of pop culture.
This elaborative piece will help all of us understand the mind of the creator behind such brilliant works and what made her so special. How these characters created by her took shape, her formative years, the legacy she left behind and a brief disappearance in the middle when she was at the peak of her career.
Early Life
“One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is, I think, to have a happy childhood”
Agatha was born on the seaside of Torquay, on the coast of Devon in 1890. Belonging to an upper-middle-class family of Britain in the early 1900s, Agatha had a very well and secured childhood. The picturesque location of Devon served as the perfect backdrop for many of her future works. It was a place of calm and ideal countryside settings in which she enjoyed growing up. Her American father unusually homeschooled Agatha as her mother did not want her to go to school, and perhaps these initial years planted the seeds for her imagination. Even as a child, she was a curious and a sharp, inquisitive mind always at work. With such curiosity, she took up reading by the age of five all by herself. It was only at the later stage at around 15 years of age; she was sent to formal school in Paris to finish her studies.
A shy kid by nature, she was a keen observer. She would listen more than talk and see more than was seen; the character trait that helped her profoundly in shaping up her characters, plots and stories going forward later in her writing career.
Her first bout with writing began with a push by her mother. It was one of those days when she was down with influenza when her mother encouraged her to write something, make the story and the poems that she was so fond of telling, come to life and she started putting her thoughts pen to paper. She always thought of it as a boredom reliever passion of hers.
Her initial works of poems were later published in The Poetry Review. Interestingly the beginning of a long, illustrious career as a detective novelist began only as a mere challenge she took up given by her sister.
At the tender age of 11, Agatha’s family was struck by a tragedy as she lost her father to a heart attack leaving her mother and herself all by themselves. He died of pneumonia and chronic kidney disease. The Death of her father also left a profound impact and can probably be considered the end of her childhood. It was the time she was the closest to her mother, and both Agatha and her mother developed a unique support system for each other. This personal loss brought about a change, and the family faced financial setbacks. So much so her mother was pondering on selling the mansion to make ends meet, but Agatha’s childhood attachments to the property held her back. They had the servants laid off and expenses curtailed. Thus the mansion, Ashfield remained a special part of her life till the very end, where she continued to find solace and calm in the later years after becoming a successful novelist right till her old age.
Often spending time alone across the large house and the beautiful pathways outside, she was always accompanied by her imaginary friends, the trees and plants which kept her engaged and entertained. These interests in nature and plants are much visible in the future works of the novels as well.
Between the years of 16 to 18, she would write her work and send it across to her neighbour Eden Phillpotts, an English writer receiving feedback and needed encouragement for her early works.
She was sent to France where she was learning piano and singing and could have turned into a successful pianist, but her introverted character gave her chills to perform in front of strangers and proved to be a roadblock.
Before she began writing her first novel, she was yet to have another adventure.
As Agatha hit adolescence, gaining a lot of attraction from the opposite sex, her life saw a turn around with the arrival of Mr Archibald Christie, a charming young man she met at a common party. They struck a chord so much that they decided to tie the knots soon. At 24 she was married. Archibald was a qualified aviator and was on a plan to join the Royal Flying Corps. This was the period of the beginning of World War I and Archibald was eager to participate as a fighter pilot for the country, so they eventually ended up marrying that year in Christmas before he left for war. It was a whirlwind courtship affair. Their married life started much later after the war as both were separated during the war. Thus began Agatha’s career as a nurse during the World War where she grasped the intricacies and developed a keen interest in chemicals and poisons. Being a part of the pharmacy helped her gain expert knowledge on the subject which she used in her debut novel and also many more books to follow.
Mystery in personal life
Atrocities as natural as they are, shape their course through everyone’s life.
Agatha, known for being an excellent surfer, didn’t know what life had in stock for her. Her life was suddenly struck by a series of blows in the personal domain that shaped the way she perceived life. It wasn’t long ago that Agatha bid goodbye to her mother, another tragedy seemed to lurk around her happy life.
Her husband Archibald Christie had just returned and announced to her dismay that he was having an extramarital affair with a woman named, Nancy Neale. What followed next to this event is not something that everybody would have heard about. It was as if Christie was narrating a plot of her creation and had become its own subject.
On the eve of 3rd December 1926, Agatha left her daughter Rosalind at her house in Greenway with only maids at bay without saying a word. She drove off in her Morris Cowley and was not heard of.
The next morning, with news of her absence doing media and local rounds, police had reported her car found abandoned near Guilford at a spot called Newlands corner, several miles off from a typical track. In the back seat of her pleasurable ride, her driving license and coat were discovered. It was almost as if Agatha had vanished into thin air. The reports suggested that she might have fallen down the gravel pits close to the lane where her car was found and might have busted her head while another possibility could have been her wanderlust to loiter around the vast open country lands. Another grave speculation arose that she had been the victim of a heinous murder crime.
With the media being the whistleblower to this news and publishing several headlines in newspapers citing her disappearance, people started developing their own plausible theories that they believed could have resulted in her disappearance.
As a result, a nationwide hunt began to find the mystery genre novelist. Almost 300 men with dogs were involved in the pursuit. Even aeroplanes scoured the place looking for her. Some rumours even suggested the inclusion of 15000 people in the manhunt for Christie. However, when Archie returned he was roped in for questioning by the policemen regarding Christie’s disappearance and was considered by some people as a prime suspect in the shabby affair.
Advancing towards more shockers, the tale culminated with the search for her on 14th December, almost 11 days later. Agatha had checked in at the Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate on 4th December. Her entry was signed under the surname, Neale; the same surname as Archie’s new love affair. Later, when Archibald visited her at the hotel, she had no recollection of her disappearance and arrival at the hotel in Harrogate and much to his surprise, she couldn’t recognise his face. On the other end, some termed it as a publicising act to sell more of her novels. The most bizarre one of them was that it was a complicated sort of revenge on her husband, who could be tried for attempted murder.
She was identified at the hotel by two young chaps who played in the band. They informed the police of their suspicion of her identity as the original Christie. The press even surfaced her photos on the front pages of newspapers. Journalists even recorded her husband saying that her disappearance was due to suffering from amnesia that she bore.
The incident unravelled her world, and it was a subject that she never chose to speak of ever again in her life. Her autobiography says that it was downright from this point onwards that she became a subject of bizarre conversation and disliked the press for giving excess limelight to the whole issue. One can only imagine the colossal impact of the series of events that had turned her life upside down. This dreadful experience culminated with her divorce with Archibald in 1928.
From here onwards, we found Christie in an almost unfamiliar light with the novels penned by her under the pseudonym, Mary Westmacott. These novels shared an altogether 360 degree opposite tonality than her crime novels.
She dropped subtle hints of it in her autobiography that now was the time for her to lead a new life in a new place.
The solid line up of the events of her disappearance and whereabouts remain a subject mysterious to the common eye till date and rests with Christie, buried in her grave.
I think it’s better said that some answers are never found; for a tale that had wrecked her life in such a painful fashion, would have even been unbearable for her fans like us to have heard of.
Personal Experiences that shaped brilliant fictional characters
The first world war had set the course of Agatha’s life of storytelling with detective novels. During this time, her husband Archibald was summoned to France for national duties. Christie meanwhile volunteered to work as a nurse at Voluntary Aid Detachment at the Red Cross Hospital in Torquay.
While she treated wounded young soldiers brought back from the war front and helped out in the operation theatre, she was offered work at the newly opened dispensary in the hospital. Here, she began to learn the intricacies of chemistry.
She found her exemplary expertise in poisons during her time at the dispensary and put it to great use while weaving the threads of her detective novel arcs. This noble line of service towards the motherland bore its fruit eventually with an imagination that sparked wonders for her.
a)Hercule Poirot -
It was during this point in her time in her career, Agatha came across several Belgian refugees stranded in many parts of the British countryside. Her remarkable observation of these gentlemen worked wonders. She thought of the novel idea of creating a Belgian policeman left stranded in England and then delivered upon her vision of introducing a fictional character in her novels, a Belgian sleuth, for instance.
The Belgian figment of her imagination came to be called Hercule Poirot and Poirot, finally made his debut in front of the world in the novel called as The Mysterious Affair at Styles; an acclaimed novel penned by Christie that got published in the year 1919. He is the primary character of her detective novels that won her many accolades. The character remains the only character in history to have received an obituary in the New York Times post his Death in the novel, Curtain.
While she was sent away to Dartmoor by her mother, Agatha used to walk several miles for several hours, it is here she wrote most of the part of her first novel; the mysterious affair at styles. The climate setting of Dartmoor while taking strolls became one of the inspirations to set the grey tonality and background of her first novel as well. This experience fed her imagination pretty well. Poirot remains seated among the elitist class of detective creations of all-time greats such as Sherlock Holmes, Dirk Gently, Auguste Dupin, Arsene Lupin, etc.
b)Miss Marple —
We all have heard of the saying that Appearances can be deceptive. Well, the same goes for Agatha’s other famous creation alongside Poirot. Many might count her out as an elderly woman absorbed in the daily lifestyle of gardening and knitting clothes but hold your horses right there. Miss Jane Marple is a spinster who lives in the small village of St. Mary Mead. A proficient advocate for justice, she helps people out by giving them suggestions on crime happenings. She does not seem like an average professional sleuth like Poirot but enjoys a fair share of solving crimes by using her meticulous observations and has an eye for human nature. Agatha said that the character of the old lady, Miss Marple, could have been something like her grandmother’s companions; not that in any way did Miss Marple resemble her grandmother. Miss Marple had one of the distinct human traits of making a judgement by ushering her intelligence and magnificent ability to see the worst in everyone. This superb character of her debuted in 1930 in the novel “Murder at the Vicarage”.
c)Tommy and Tuppence —
Talking about the tonal shift and adventurous themes, Agatha made a leap with storytelling by introducing two more profound characters. The young and dynamic duo seeking money and exhilarating adventures, named Tommy and Tuppence were introduced later. The pair featured in Agatha’s only second novel titled “The Secret Adversary” at the time of 1922. The inspiration for the characters came from a conversation that Agatha overheard between two women sitting at a tea shop. They were discussing some woman named Jane Fish. She found this incident amusing enough that she decided to leverage the same name Jane Finn for one of the characters for the same novel. The duo embarks on an exciting journey with a business scheme called Young Adventures Ltd. They also gauged the attention of their employers and by using a brilliant advertisement with a catchphrase quoting ‘willing to do anything, go anywhere’. An act of eavesdropping turned into storytelling, Agatha pulled this one off incredibly well.
Other beloved characters created by Agatha include Ariadne Oliver, Harley Quin and Parker Pyne.
Later years
After facing one of life’s most significant blows, her life turned a new leaf once she took herself away from England. Experience and a person’s work is so intricately linked it’s almost a fiction to believe how an artist’s journey could shape his career. It was that breezy autumn in 1928 that did the trick. She took a trip to the Orient Express, a train she always wished to travel, and years later, one of her most famous works remains the novel, The Murder on The Orient Express, a taut thriller set entirely on the train. Her journeys took her to Baghdad and later archaeological sites where she befriended Max Mallowan, her future husband.
In these years, in the early 1930s, she gave birth to her pseudo writer named Mary Westmacott. The identity was kept under wraps, and works were a complete contrast to the past detective novels. These collections of books had bittersweet stories on life and love.
As expected, she hinted at the name and left the identity a mystery, which was discovered only after a long wait of 20 years. Mary was the author’s second name, and Westmacott is one of her distant relatives. The works received moderate success, which made Agatha very pleased given it was a remote call from her usual thrillers.
In 1930, a Detection Club was formed by a group of detective novelists. A small knit community where one helped each other in technical writings and offered a chance to collaborate on projects. Agatha took the role of the president of the club from 1957–1976.
These were the times which produced a lot of work. She divided her time with an annual writing routine, Christmas with her sister’s family, autumn, and Spring in the digs and rest of the year in London Oxfordshire writing through the year. She made a rule to complete at least two to three books a year and write off a chapter or two with Max on her digs. The Middle East’s influence is hugely seen in many of her novels set in the Middle East, the famous one being Death on The Nile. One wonders about her power of observation and ability to stitch stories filled with amusing characters and a gritty plot. It seems as if every life experience is put or used in making her incredible stories, and not a single information is neglected as her work only comes forth as a result of a life richly lived.
From 1939 to 1945 saw the beginning of World War II; her husband went to assist armies while she remained in England, rendering her service as a volunteer at the Dispensary at University College Hospital in London. It was also time she turned a granny and a doting one as her daughter Roselin gave birth to Mathew. These were the times she remained productive and was a prolific writer producing famous works like Five Little Pigs, Evil Under The Sun, and highest-selling novel, And Then There Were None.
In 1938, Agatha and her husband bought a house in Greenway, which became her holiday home. The place remained her favourite until the end. The entire family and grandchildren would come together to sit and listen to her narrating stories, and she would gauge the reactions to tweaks or make changes in her novels before publishing. It was ‘the loveliest place in the world’ to her with a scenic view and lake by the side.
By 1945 the war came to an end, and so did Max came back. The later years were slow, and she took up theatre production, making less of written work.
In 1946 the cover of works of Mary Westmacott was blown by an American reviewer of Absent in the Spring. This sudden revelation gave a halt to her other writings under her name.
The British Empire recognised her works of literature, and she won the Commander of Order decoration, gifted with the title Dame from Queen Elizabeth II in 1971.
Later years she kept herself busy with theatre plays and family. Agatha showed a last public appearance in 1974 on the premiere of the film The Murder on Orient Express, starring Albert Finney as Hercule Poirot.
“What can I say at seventy-five? ‘Thank God for my good life, and for all the love that has been given to me”

Why give Christie’s work a look??
Fais: Well, for anyone who wants to experience the good old charm of reading long-format stories and interested in exploring human behavior and psyche, then this is one of the best places to go. I discovered her works through her book’s television adaption, and now look forward to all her creations. I have met some of the most beautifully crafted characters, deeply woven plots, and the British feels of the bygone era. Even after 100 years, her work still delights the readers and gift them with the sheer pleasure of knowing unforgettable, fictionalized characters adding joy to our reality. A true blue artist !!
Shubh: Riveting is the word. I have been a Christie fanatic for over 5 years now. Her novel, “And then there were none” happened to be my first Christie. I was simply flabbergasted at the intricate style of storytelling exquisitely crafted in a tale of ten little Indians and the succinct way of putting forth human narratives and character plots without giving away the suspense till the end. Mind my words, her story had me on edge the entire time I was going through each page. Long story short, for Storytellers, Agatha should be helmed as a mastermind. A maestro that needs to be acknowledged for her works over and over by reading them. For Ordinary People, her life story embarks upon an adventurous tale of ups and downs. If you are looking for thrills, you will find them, if you are looking for the monotony in life you fill that too in her works. But the maverick she was, her life story has a real gripping narrative that can leave people stunned and blinking eyes on the thought about the similar events that we all face on a day to day basis. Watch out for her works, in whatever way you can. She penned her life accounts and experiences into a sublime fashion, period!!
