Do you love mysteries? Then you’ve probably heard about Agatha Christie, the grand dame of mystery novels. Her characters included Hercule Poirot, the famous Belgian detective, and Miss Marple, an engaging elderly woman from a small town.  Murder on the Orient Express was just one of her books that has made it to the big screen. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Agatha Christie’s popularity is only overshadowed by the Bible, and one of her books has been running as a play in London since October 1952 - The Mousetrap.
