(Mystery-She yearns for a happy ending, but cannot find it in her own life, even though she is an imaginative problem solver in her writing): Born September 15, 1890, in Torquay, Devon. British mystery writer, whose 80+ novels became best sellers worldwide. During World War I, the woman from an upper-class family worked in a hospital dispensary, gaining a thorough knowledge of poisons. On a dare from her sister, she wrote her first novel, THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT SYLES. Reclusive and shy, but with many suitors, she married Colonel Archibald Christie on Christmas Eve in 1914.
Vanished on December 4, 1926. Her car was found in the middle of the night rolled down an embankment. Eleven days later, she surfaced at a resort hotel in the north of England, registered under the last name of her husband’s mistress. She claimed amnesia and never spoke of it again for the rest of her life. Died January 12, 1976.
