Murder she wrote

I was reading a couple of Agatha Christie novels during last week. Her novels are among the best sellers of all time, second only to Shakespeare. She's known as "Queen of crime" for her something like 65 crime novels.

All her stories frame work is more or less the same. A death takes place, turns out to be a murder, some detectives or some amateurs get involved in investigating the crime. The most part of the story is on the investigation, the suspicion shifts from person to person, and makes the reader guess all sorts of possibilites and suspects, but at the end the murderer turns out to be either someone you never thought of suspecting, or someone you considered earlier but ruled out at one point. I'm sure I've read at least a dozen of her books and still I've never been able to make the correct guess!! (better luck next time!..maybe)

It's funny that even though the framework is the same for all stories, no two stories are alike, every story is very unique, so instead of getting bored after reading a couple of books, you get kind of addicted to her mysteries. Reading her book is like solving a puzzle or mystery, it keeps you guessing all throughout.

Most of her stories are based in UK, but there are quite a significant number of stories based in other countries like Egypt, Iraq etc. each one giving a touch of its culture.
