Abstract
Agatha Christie is best known as the “Queen of Crime” and the “Duchess of Death”. She chose the genre of detective stories with psychological perspective. According to her, by reading human psychology, crimes can be committed and detected as well. She introduced the character Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective who appeared in most of her celebrated novels. Christie’s writing is remarkable for her psychological analysis of human behaviour.
The present paper has made an attempt to show how skilfully Agatha Christie went through the human psychology to hold her readers spellbound until the end of the story.
