26、ne of the greatest mystery writers of the 20th century and she was a mystery herself.Her novels under the name Mary Westmacott have sold over four billion copies, and the “Guinness Book of Records” lists her as the best selling author of all time. Only the Bible has sold more copies. While her caree
27、r advanced smoothly and steadily, her personal life, however, was another story. Christie married Archibald Christie around 1920, and, for a while it seemed like a good match.

28、d, Archibald went back to his lover and around 9:45 PM on December 8, 1926, Agatha kissed her sleeping daughter Rosalind goodnight, left a note saying that she was going away and even gave details of her trip.

31、ed the authorities that a woman, matching Christies description was staying at the hotel under the name Teresa Neele, the same name as her husbands lover. When Archie went there to identify her she didnt recognize him, and totally rejected the idea that she was a famous author. She later claimed tha
32、t she had no memory of her trip or how she got to the hotel.After the disappearance and the lack of an explanation, several theories arose. Some believed that she truly had amnesia, resulting from some sort of breakdown due to her husbands affair. Others believed that it was a publicity stunt, or an
33、 attempt to embarrass her husband, knowing full well that he would be suspected of foul play. Whatever the reason she disappeared, it was never revealed to anyones satisfaction by Christie, who later remarried an archeologist and continued to write.51Agatha Christie is referred to as “Queen of Crime

37、most life-threatening experience.B: No, it wasnt. K: It was for me, and I wasnt even in the water.

39、t one minute of film of me outside of the cage with the great whites. Everyone on that trip got freaked out that I did that, and that was the end of the trip. But it was my dream to go back and do it again. The reason is because I think great whites are the most beautiful and perfect creatures Ive e
40、ver seen.K: But in your mind, werent you wondering if it was safe?B: I think it depends on your position. If youre in the water and your head is up and youre alert and controlled and not afraid, I dont think they want to bother you. I think they minimize their workload, so if they have to do any wor
