Agatha Christie's 120th Birthday

Today’s Google logo (or Google Doodle, as the company calls its everchanging logo) is one of the most elaborate we’ve seen: It’s a murder scene with one of Google’s o’s depicting a lady lying dead in the middle of a room full of other characters.

But who’s the murderer: the butler, the elegantly attired woman, the gentleman, or the stable boy? There’s only one person who can find out: Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot, represented by the capital G in the image, sporting his famous bow tie and mustache.

The logo is, of course, a tribute to the famous crime writer, Dame Agatha Christie, DBE, (15 September 1890 – 12 January 1976), was a British crime writer of novels, short stories and plays. She also wrote romances under the name Mary Westmacott, but she is best remembered for her 80 detective novels—especially those featuring Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple—and her successful West End theatre plays.
