It’s been fifty years since Agatha Christie died (of natural causes) at the age of 85 but the passage of time has only increased the public’s appetite for the Queen of Crime. She is officially the best-selling fiction author in the world, having sold around 2 billion copies of her books, and continues to inspire endless screen adaptations, biographies, biopics, podcasts and of course homages (“Murder, She Wrote,” “Only Murders in the Building” and “Knives Out” all invoke Christie to varying degrees.)
