Dame Agatha Christie is the long-time Queen of Crime, inventing the two most recognised characters in fiction; the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, and the apparently bumbling Miss Marple. However, she has also written standalone mysteries, spy novels and historical novels set in ancient Egypt, using the knowledge of her second husband (a noted archeologist).
After the breakdown of her first marriage, Christie disappeared for over a week, leading to a national hunt, before turning up in Harrogate with no memory of what had happened during the missing period.
