English novelist Agatha Christie published 66 detective novels throughout her career, most featuring popular detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Christie's estate claims that her works come third in the rankings of the world's most-widely published books, behind only Shakespeare's works and the Bible, and she is generally considered the greatest crime novelist of all time. The sequel to A Caribbean Mystery, Nemesis follows Miss Marple back to her house at St. Mary Mead where receives a mysterious letter asking for her help in saving a life.
