The first Agatha Christie’s novel that introduced the beloved detective Hercule Poirot to the world was published 100 years ago, in 1920. This debut novel, The Mysterious Affair At Styles, was partly the result of a dare from her sister who challenged her to write a good detective story - and write she did, for many decades until her death in 1976.

Born in Torquay in England, in 1890, Christie went on to become the best-selling novelist of all time.
