Born in Torquay, Devon, into a wealthy family, she received a good home education, in particular, a musical education, and only the fear of public speaking prevented her from choosing the path of a professional performer.
  During the First World War, Agatha Miller worked as a nurse in a military hospital, studied pharmacology, thanks to which she gained knowledge about poisons, which was later used to create detective novels. At the same time, in between shifts, she began to write detective stories. In her own words, Agatha began to compose from a simple imitation of her sister, who was already published in magazines.

  In 1926, Agatha's mother died, and her husband, Colonel Archibald Christie, demanded a divorce. The reaction of Agatha Christie was so unexpected that the writer herself could hardly explain it in the future: Agatha disappeared. For several days, she was intensively searched for and finally found in a hotel, registered under the name ... of a woman whom her husband was going to marry.
  In 1928, the marriage of Agatha and Archibald Christie, from whom the daughter Rosalind was born, broke up. In 1930, Agatha Christie married a second time, to the archaeologist Sir Max Mullovan. Since then, she periodically spent several months of the year in Syria and Iraq on expeditions with her husband (hence the "eastern" cycle of her novels): "Murder on the Orient Express", "Baghdad Meeting".
