Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie (Sep. 15, 1890 - 1976) has sold approx. 4 billion copies of her novels - so in theory two out of every three inhabitants of planet Earth could own their own private Miss Marple or Poirot mystery…
“Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.” ― Agatha Christie, Murder in Mesopotamia
