Recognized by Guinness World Records as the best-selling fiction writer of all time, Agatha Christie is the undisputed Queen of Crime, with her works selling billions of copies. Her masterful mysteries, often conceived during her extensive travels, drew inspiration from her experiences as a wartime pharmacy dispenser, which gave her a deep knowledge of poisons.
