Ihre berühmtesten Schöpfungen sind der belgische Detektiv Hercule Poirot mit seinem Freund Arthur Hastings sowie die altjüngferliche Miss Marple. Daneben gibt es andere wiederkehrende Figuren wie das Ehepaar Tommy und Tuppence Beresford oder Inspektor Battle, Sir Henry Clithering oder die Krimi-Autorin Mrs. Ariadne Oliver. Neben ihrer schriftstellerischen Tätigkeit unterstützte Christie ihren zweiten Ehemann, den Archäologen Max Mallowan, bei seinen Ausgrabungen im Nordirak und in Syrien, insbesondere bei der Restaurierung prähistorischer Keramiken und der Fotodokumentation der Funde. Sie trug maßgeblich zur Finanzierung dieser Expeditionen bei.

“An archaeologist is the best husband any woman can have; the older she gets, the more interested he is in her.”

Christie denied having made this remark, which had been attributed to her by her second husband Sir Max Mallowan in a news report (9 March 1954); according to Nigel Dennis, "Genteel Queen of Crime: Agatha Christie Puts Her Zest for Life Into Murder", Life, Volume 40, N° 20, 14 May 1956 http://books.google.com/books?id=p0wEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA102, she was quoting "a witty wife"; Quote Investigator reports on "An Archaeologist Is the Best Husband a Woman Can Have" as of uncertain origin. http://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/07/12/husband/

“In a state of emergency martial law is proclaimed.”

Curtain - Poirot's Last Case (1975)
Kontext: I have no more now to say. I do not know, Hastings, if what I have done is justified or not justified. No — I do not know. I do not believe that a man should take the law into his own hands... But on the other hand, I am the law! As a young man in the Belgian police force I shot down a desperate criminal who sat on a roof and fired at people below. In a state of emergency martial law is proclaimed.

“Believe me, nurse, the difficulty of beginning will be nothing to the difficulty of knowing how to stop.”

Agatha Christie buch Murder in Mesopotamia

Dr Reilly
Murder in Mesopotamia (1936)
Kontext: Believe me, nurse, the difficulty of beginning will be nothing to the difficulty of knowing how to stop. At least that's the way it is with me when I have to make a speech. Someone's got to catch hold of my coat-tails and pull me down by main force.

“I have given them life instead of death, freedom instead of the cords of superstition, beauty and truth instead of corruption and exploitation.”

Kontext: I have given them life instead of death, freedom instead of the cords of superstition, beauty and truth instead of corruption and exploitation. The old bad days are over for them, the Light of the Aton has risen, and they can dwell in peace and harmony freed from the shadow of fear and oppression.

“Words had become to him a means of obscuring facts — not of revealing them.”

Agatha Christie buch The Labours of Hercules

The Labours of Hercules (1967)
