With her earnings from the serialisation of The Man in the Brown Suit, she bought a Morris Cowley.Twice in her life she ‘saw’ Hercule Poirot - once lunching in the Savoy and once on a boat in the Canary Islands.She is the only crime writer to have created two equally famous and much-loved characters - Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.The Mysterious Affair at Styles earned her the princely sum of £25.As an inexperienced novelist, she capitulated, but she received many letters from acquaintances noting the "coco" spelling and commenting that she was "never a good speller." Christie thought this was "most unfair." When she published The Mysterious Affair at Styles, she was forced to use the spelling "coco" instead of "cocoa" due to the insistence of an editor.
It was some four years before The Mysterious Affair at Styles was published, having been rejected by six publishers.She wrote her first detective novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, after a bet with her sister, Madge.The first ever story that she wrote when she was younger was called The House of Beauty, and she wrote it to stave off boredom while in bed recovering from influenza.These facts were compiled by Agatha Christie experts John Curran and Chris Chan, alongside Agatha Christie Ltd
