You have to admit, that when it comes to murder mystery novels, Agatha Christie is still one of the best that has ever lived. Her stories have been made into countless TV shows, TV movies, and millions of books sold around the world. Throw in plays, and you have a literary phenomenon.

Over her lifetime, she wrote a vast number of books, but you would perhaps wonder how on earth she could continue to have so much inspiration to continually produce things that were out of this world.

Well, it turns out that Agatha Christie herself gave us an insight into the kind of thing that helped her mind click into place. According to the author herself, she would come up with the best ideas while she was sitting in her bathtub eating apples. Now, we would like to think that she was actually having a bath at the time, as it would be strange to sit there clothed and eating an apple, but we have to leave that possibility open.

No matter if she was clothed or not, it did seem to do the trick, and we have a lot to be grateful for that she was able to come up with an idea that worked for her on a creative level.
