阿加莎·克里斯蒂(Agatha Christie 1890~1976),英国著名女侦探小说家、剧作家,三大推理文学宗师之一。
阿加莎·克里斯蒂是一名高产的作家,她的作品不仅局限于侦探小说,全部作品包括66部长篇推理小说,21部短篇或中篇小说选集,15个已上演或已发表的剧本,3个剧本集,6部以笔名玛丽·维斯特麦考特发表的情感小说,2部以笔名阿加莎·克里斯蒂·马洛温发表的作品,1部自传,2部诗集,2本与侦探俱乐部的会员作家们合写的长篇推理小说。据吉尼斯世界纪录统计,阿加莎·克里斯蒂是人类史上最畅销的著书作家。而将所有形式的著作算入,只有圣经与威廉·莎士比亚的著作的总销售量在她之上。至今其著作曾翻译成超过103种语言,总销突破20亿本。
阿加莎·克里斯蒂开创了侦探小说的“乡间别墅派”,即凶杀案发生在一个特定封闭的环境中,而凶手也是几个特定关系人之一。欧美甚至日本很多侦探作品也是使用了这一模式。她始终以动机和分析人性,为读者展现一个个特异怪诞的丰富心理世界,由此揭露人心之丰富,展现丰富多彩的人物性格,深层揭示曲折摇曳的人性迷宫。阿加莎·克里斯蒂著作数量之丰仅次于莎士比亚。因为她的推理小说,她也被称为“推理女王”。代表作品有《东方快车谋杀案》和《尼罗河谋杀案》等。
