Quintessentially English crime writer, Dame Agatha Christie, DBE is the best selling author of books of all time (four billion copies of her novels). The 'Queen of Mystery' invented detective Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, and wrote over 80 novels using settings from her considerable travels with her husband, archaeologist Max Mallowan, writing Murder on the Orient Express in Istanbul. 'An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.'
