Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born in 1890 in Torquay , England.She was first and foremost a story teller.She wrote 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections.She also wrote romances under the pen name Mary Westmacottwhich remained a secret for 20 years.It is widely acknowledged that she is without compare mainly because of her killing methods - from poison and knives to guns , drowning and strangulation - .Two of the greatest detectives in literature were "born" in her books. Miss Jane Marple is a spinster with a mind like a steel trap and Hercule Poirot , a brainy little man who always likes things square instead of round.Agatha Christie's stage play "The Mousetrap" holds the record for the longest initial run: it opened at the Ambassadors Theatre in London on 25 November 1952 and it is still running after more than 24000 performances.
