How many detective novels did Agatha Christie write?

A ***81 works

Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, DBE (Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, also translated as Agatha K Listy (September 15, 1890 - January 12, 1976), also known as Lady Mallowan (Lady Mallowan), was a British detective novel writer. Mary Westmacott was the pen name she used to write romance novels.

Agatha Christie is one of the world's most famous detective novel writers. Excluding Shakespeare's works, Christie's works have always had the highest sales volume since their release. As of 2006, her books have been translated into 103 languages, and together with the English version, the total sales volume is as high as 2 billion copies. In France, as of 2003, she had sold 40 million copies of her French-language books a year, making her the record holder for the highest sales of books in France, surpassing the second place, French writer Zola's 22 million copies. Ben is much higher. On the one hand, she is known as the "Queen of Crime" (Queen of Crime), on the other hand, she also had a very important influence and controversial inspiration on the development of British detective novels.

Her famous detective drama "The Mousetrap" was performed at the Ambassadors Theater on November 25, 1952. It has been performed more than 20,000 times to this day. Longest theatrical performance in London.

Christie has published more than eighty novels and screenplays. The detective novels she writes mainly use the secret room reasoning method, and it is usually not known who the real murderer is until the end (this arrangement method is called "Whodunit"). As for the characters, most of the works revolve around two characters, namely Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple. She is good at using new writing techniques to write detective novels, among which "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" brings readers an unexpected ending. Her meticulous and serious attitude towards writing enables readers to search and master sufficient information from the book to solve mysteries.

Most of Christie's novels have been adapted for the screen, and some of his works, such as "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Tragedy on the Nile", have been adapted into film and television works many times. The British BBC TV station has filmed many stories about Poirot and Marple, and Manchester's Granada Television later filmed a TV series with David Suchet as Poirot. In 2004, Japan's NHK TV station even adapted the story of Poirot and Marple into an animation called "Agatha Christie's Great Detectives Poirot and Marple".
