The Greatest (Mystery Writer)

Do you know who the greatest mystery writer of all time is? No it isn’t Stephen King though he is pretty great writer. It also is not James Patterson but I do too think he is pretty great himself. It is sadly not Sir Arthur Conan Doyle the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Have you guess it yet? I shall tell it is the great Dame Agatha Christie.

            For those who guess it was her you have my congratulations but those you didn’t even mention her well shame on you. Do you want me to prove it? Well I tell you little fact I read on Wikipedia it stated that that her books were the 3^rd most widely published books right behind The Bible and Shakespeare’s works. It also stated that her books have been translated into 103 languages. If you still don’t believe me then prove me wrong look it up yourself.

            For anyone who is a mystery lover you surely have heard of Agatha Christie if not then you’re not a mystery lover at all. But those of you that are Doctor Who fans you would know about her in that episode “The wasp and Unicorn” starring the 10^th Doctor and Donna going back in to time and meeting Agatha Christie. A quick comment of that Episode is Yes Agatha Christie in real life did disappeared for 11 days you can look up the real reason why if you are curious. You might have also heard about her if you interested in theater because she wrote a play called the mouse trap which is the longest running play of time of over 50 years.

I myself have read about six of her books most were Hercules Poirot mysteries. I recently just finished “The Death on the Nile” and I simply loved it. I think the real reason why she is so great is because she had a talent of reading people. She knew how human beings thought and how they acted in life and she used that gift in her writing. So yes I do think she is the greatest mystery writer of all time. If I have convinced you then I recommend you read one of her books to understand and you can choose one of 80 of her works. I am pretty certain that you will find one that is of interest and your language.
