- Christie died on Jan. 12, 1976, and remains one of the world’s most-read authors, with roughly 65 detective novels, 14 story collections, and billions of copies sold.
- Netflix will release a three-episode period miniseries, Agatha Christie: Seven Dials, on Jan. 15, starring Helena Bonham Carter, Mia McKenna-Bruce, Ed Bluemel, Corey Mylchreest, and Martin Freeman.
- The adaptation is written by Chris Chibnall and directed by Chris Sweeney, reviving a lesser-read 1929 novel for a broad audience.
- Notable creative shifts include an expanded role for Bonham Carter and filming across Bristol and Bath, with an opening set piece in Ronda’s historic bullring.
- Her cultural imprint spans Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple and the cozy crime template, while her 1926 disappearance—an 11‑day search ending in a Harrogate hotel registration as “Teresa Neele”—continues to fascinate.
