Agatha was born in England, with a harmonious family and a beautiful childhood. My father is a cheerful and easy-going gentleman, and my mother is smart and wise, and she has unique views on education. So Agatha didn't go to school when she was eight years old, but stayed at home for enlightenment education. At this time, she read many poems, short stories and short plays, and her sister told her many detective stories. At that time, some detective novels were not strictly written. From the beginning, you can see what kind of story will happen in the end and who the murderer is. At this time, Agatha set herself a goal in her mind, that is, to write suspenseful detective novels. In fact, in her later days, she realized this wish.

From 184 1, Edgar Allan Poe's Murder in Mog Street, The Moon Stone by Collins, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Conan Doyle, and a series of detective novels by agatha christie, the literary genre of detective novels has developed into its golden age. Agatha's novels are still traditional, with one story breakpoint, and others have no breakpoints at all.

The autobiography of Agatha was written in 1950, and it was not completed until 15 years later, that is, ten years before her death in 1765. This book vividly depicts her life with relaxed and happy brushstrokes. It shows the turbulent history of half a century from the end of 19 to the middle of the 20th century.

Agatha has traveled around the world, and colonies such as India, Hong Kong and Baghdad are her favorite places to go. Rich experience and rich creative materials make her works not limited to one place, and many works are even on the road.

Vivid exotic scenery and folk customs; The ups and downs of life, the ups and downs of writing, and the hardships of pursuing ideals are all in the book.

As one of the three giants in the golden age, Agatha's greatest achievement is the isolated island-snowstorm villa model created in the novel No Man.
