Дама Агата Мері Кларисса, леді Маллоуен, уроджена Міллер – саме так звучить повне ім’я Агати Крісті, «Королеви детективів», якій цього року виповнюється 130 років від дня народження.
Ця англійська письменниця, яка називала свою творчість просто хоббі, стала одним з найвідоміших у світі авторів детективного жанру.
У неї, чиїми романами досьогодні зачитується увесь світ, не було ні окремого кабінету, ні письмового столу. Писала вона уривками, між домашніми справами, влаштувавшись за кухонним столом або у спальній кімнаті.
Понад 60 детективних романів, 6 психологічних романів і 19 збірників оповідань, перекладені майже 100 мовами світу – ось результат хоббі Агати Крісті.
Чи знаєте ви, що Агата Крісті готувалася стати оперною співачкою і композитором, а у роки першої світової війни була сесторою милосердя? Що вона долучилася до археологічних розкопок у Єгипті і працювала як фармацевт з екзотичними отрутами, а ще літала на аероплані, безстрашно водила автомобіль, обожнювала верхову їзду, серфінг і навіть здійснила кругосвітню подорож?
Неймовірна жінка, – яка жага всього нового і стільки енергії!
Весь свій життєвий досвід Агата Крісті переносила на сторінки своїх творів, старанно продумуючи сюжети, наповнюючи їх яскраво виписаними образами героїв і надзвичайними фантазіями…
Саме Агаті Крісті присвячена виставка «The Queen of Crime: Agata Christie», на якій представлені книги письменниці англійською мовою.

There were eleven passengers aboard when the flight took off from Le Bourget in the September sunshine.
High in the sky, the passenger in Seet No. 2 seemed to be sleeping. She was, in fact, dead…
The passenger in Seat No. 9 had the task of finding out why. He also had to discover how she’d died, and who had killed her.
How fortunate that the passenger in Seat No. 9 was Hercule Poirot…

When Hercule Poirot discovered the truth of the Dog’s Ball incident, he became convinced that Emily Arundell did not die from natural causes.
Who, then, was responsible for the death of this rich spinster? Could it be: the slightly Wanton Theresa, her spendthrift brother Charles, Wilhelmina Lawson, the seemingly meek companion, Bella Tanios – married to a Greek doctor her aunt distrusted, or those irritating Tripps with their infernal seances?
Unlike Poirot the murderer forgot the tongue of the Dumb Witness.

It was an open and shut case. All the evidence said Caroline Crale poisoned her philandering husband, a brilliant painter. She was quickly and easily convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
Now, sixteen years later, in a posthumous letter, Mrs. Crale has assured her grown daughter that she was innocent. But instead of setting the young woman’s mind at ease, the letter only raises disquieting questions. Did Caroline indeed write the truth? And if she didn’t kill her husband, who did?
To find out, the Crale’s daughter asks Hercule Poirot to reopen the case. His investigation takes him deep into the conflicting memories and motivations of the five other people who were with the Crales on the fatal day. With his keen understanding of human psychology, he manages to discover the surprising truth behind the artist’s death.

An outbreak of kleptomania at a student hostel was not normally the sort of crime that aroused Hercule Poirot’s interest.
But when he saw the list of stolen and vandalized items – including a stethoscope, some old flannel trousers, a box of chocolates, a slashed rucksack and a diamond ring found in a bowl of soup – he congratulated the warden, Mrs Hubbard, on a ‘unique and beautiful problem’.
The list made absolutely no sense at all. But, reasoned Poirot, if this was merely a petty thief at work, why was everyone at the hostel so frightened?
