Agatha Christie was the most successful writer of detective stories of all time. People all over the world read her
stories of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. But when she died in 1976 there was a final mystery: why did she
disappear for eleven days in December 1926?
Agatha Christie was born in September 1890. She lived with her family in Devon, England. In 1914 she married
Colonel Archibald Christie. She wrote her first detective story in 1920 and soon she was very successful.
But Agatha did not have a happy marriage. On a cold night in December 1926 she left home in her car. The following
morning, the police found the empty car but there was no sign of Agatha. Two days later, they told the newspaper that
they did not know where she was. Everyone thought she was dead.
But 250 miles away in Yorkshire, a waiter in a hotel saw a guest who looked like Agatha Christie, and he told the
police. Eleven days after her disappearance, her husband found her again in the hotel dining-room.
The couple were soon divorced. She married Sir Max Mallowan, an archaeologist, in 1930 and she continued to write
her mysteries. But she did not explain what happened in that night in 1926.
Over the years, Agatha wrote more than eighty mysteries and sold over 300 million books. But she did not tell anyone
why she disappeared in December 1926.
