Later, when she became more established, she refused rewrites.

*Agatha Christie: An English Mystery. “Money is central to Agatha’s writings. As both Poirot and Miss Marple are aware, it constitutes the prime motive for crime.” 

*Christie liked to dream up plot ideas while soaking in her large Victorian bath, munching on apples. She stopped the habit when she became dissatisfied with the baths available to her. “Nowadays they don’t build baths like that. I’ve rather given up the practice.”

*Christie is the only crime writer to have created two equally famous protagonists: Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple. The dandyish Poirot, remains the only fictional character ever to receive an obituary in the New York Times, whereas the
unassuming Marple, serves as the archetype for small-town, little-old-lady snoops.

*After her first husband, Archibald, asked for a divorce, Christie disappeared for 10 days. The mysterious disappearance of the mystery writer was on the front page of every newspaper and prompted an extensive manhunt that included thousands of police officers and volunteers. She was finally discovered at a hotel in Harrogate. It’s unclear whether Christie experienced memory loss or whether the disappearance was a purposeful stunt.

*The film "Murder on the Orient Express" was the only adaptation of the works of women writers, of which Agatha Christie has been fully satisfied. In particular, she said that the performance by Albert Finney Hercule Poirot was most close to her established literary character. Agatha Christie travelled a lot, and the novel, taken as the basis of this film, was written in Istanbul, where the writer came to rest with her husband. 

*She authored six romantic novels under the pen name of Mary Westmacott. (Mary was her second name and Westmacott was the surname of some distant relatives.) For almost two decades, the public had no clue Christie and Westmacott were one and the same.
