Agatha Christie and Archaeology

"Agatha Christie (1890-1976) is still, more than 25 years after her death, one of the world's most successful authors. Her books are read in more than 100 countries and have been translated into 44 languages. But behind the famous name lies an unexpected story. In 1930 Agatha Christie married the archaeologist Max Mallowan (1904-78) and afterwards accompanied him on all his excavations in the Middle East."

This is a favorite author of mine, and these pages tell of her travels with her archaeologist husband through the Mid-East, that gave inspiration for many of her stories.

I don't have much time for novel reading anymore, but I must have at least a dozen audio books of her novels and stories that I've had for about 20 years, and still listen to. I never miss the TV adaptaions either, whenever they appear. If after checking out that site, you find you have a taste for a mystery, Here's an online text version of a story featuring that prissy little Belgian, Poirot.
