A World War I Nurse and Aspiring Writer

With the outbreak of World War I, Agatha's life took an unexpected turn. She volunteered as a nurse, witnessing firsthand the horrors and realities of war. Amidst the chaos, Agatha found solace in writing, penning short stories and even her first novel, "Snow Upon the Desert."

After the war, Agatha married Archibald Christie, a World War I pilot. Despite her duties as a wife and mother, she remained steadfast in her pursuit of writing. In 1920, her novel "The Mysterious Affair at Styles" introduced the world to Hercule Poirot, the eccentric yet brilliant Belgian detective who would become one of Christie's most enduring creations.

The Rise of a Mystery Mastermind

With the publication of "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" in 1926, Agatha Christie cemented her status as a master of crime fiction. The novel's innovative narrative technique, which utilized an unreliable narrator, shocked and captivated readers, revolutionizing the genre.
