Agatha Christie's The Man in the Brown Suit
About the Story
Agatha Christie was born in southwest England to a wealthy family. Growing up, Christie enjoyed reading mystery novels by Wilkie Collins and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Christie’s The Man in the Brown Suit was first published in the United States and in the United Kingdom 1924. In 1922, Agatha Christie, along with her husband Archie Christie and Major E.A. Belcher, took an around-the-world trip to promote the 1924 British Empire Exhibition. Major Belcher served as the inspiration for the character of Sir Eustace Pedler. Christie wrote, “Never, to this day, have I been able to rid myself of a sneaking fondness for Sir Eustace.” The character of Colonel Race appears in three other Agatha Christie novels, including Sparkling Cyanide, Cards on the Table, and Death on the Nile. The author of 66 detective novels and 15 short story collections, Christie is best known for her bestselling novel "And Then There Were None" and her play "The Mousetrap."
