Agatha Christie, the creator of Poirot and Miss Marple, remains a beloved author even today. Her works skillfully capture not only the “good old days” of Britain but also the country’s transformation throughout the 20th century. From the inhabitants of country houses and the diversification of leisure activities to the dynamics of servants and class culture, as well as the changing lives of women- these are the facets of Britain, past and present, as seen through the eyes of the “Queen of Mystery.”
