Jewish characters are often seen as un-English such as Oliver Manders in Three Act Tragedy , but they are rarely the culprits. However, many American characters are positive characters living in the UK, and are frequently misunderstood by their British associates.

His wife's aunt, Mildred, assumes he committed the murder, with the phrase "He's probably one of those dreadful American gangsters".

Christie's father was American. Often, she is affectionate or teasing with her prejudices. After four years of war-torn London, Christie hoped to return some day to Syria, which she described as "gentle fertile country and its simple people, who know how to laugh and how to enjoy life; who are idle and gay, and who have dignity, good manners, and a great sense of humour, and to whom death is not terrible. She had trouble with an incompetent Swiss French nursery helper Marcelle for toddler Rosalind, and as a result she decided, "Scottish preferred The French were hopeless disciplinarians Germans good and methodical, but it was not German that I really wanted Rosalind to learn.

The Irish were gay but made trouble in the house; the English were of all kinds. Often referred to as the "Queen of Crime" or "Queen of Mystery", Christie is the world's best-selling mystery writer and is considered a master of suspense, plotting, and characterisation. In honour of the th anniversary of her birth, 25 contemporary mystery writers and one publisher revealed their views on Christie's works. Many of the authors read Christie's novels first, before other mystery writers , in English or in their native language, influencing their own writing, and nearly all still view her as the "Queen of Crime", and creator of the plot twists used by mystery authors.

Nearly all had one or more favourites among Christie's mysteries, and find her books good to read now, nearly years after her first novel was published. Several of the authors would be very pleased to have their own novels in print in years. Just one of the 25 authors held with Edmund Wilson's views.

Christie had a lifelong interest in archaeology. She met her second husband, Sir Max Mallowan , a distinguished archaeologist, on a trip to the excavation site at Ur in But her fame as an author far surpassed his fame in archaeology. She wrote novels and short stories, but also contributed work to the archaeological sites, more specifically to the archaeological restoration and labelling of ancient exhibits, including tasks such as cleaning and conserving delicate ivory pieces, reconstructing pottery, developing photos from early excavations which later led to taking photographs of the site and its findings, and taking field notes.

Christie would always pay for her own board and lodging and her travel expenses so as to not influence the funding of the archaeological excavations, and she also supported excavations as an anonymous sponsor. Their extensive travelling had a strong influence on her writing, as some type of transportation often plays a part in her murderer's schemes. The large amount of travel was reused in novels such as Murder on the Orient Express , as well as suggesting the idea of archaeology as an adventure itself.

Anecdotes, memories, funny episodes are strung in a rough timeline, with more emphasis on eccentric characters and lovely scenery than on factual accuracy. Many of the settings for Christie's books were directly inspired by the many archaeological field seasons spent in the Middle East on the sites managed by her husband Max. The extent of her time spent at the many locations featured in her books is apparent from the extreme detail in which she describes them. One such site featured in her work is the temple site of Abu Simbel , depicted in Death on the Nile.
