Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born in Torquay, England on September 15, 1890. She was educated at home and was sent to school in Paris when she was 16. She studied singing and piano.

In 1914 she married Colonel Archibald Christie, an aviator in the Royal Flying Corps. The couple had one daughter, Rosalind, before their divorce in 1928. During World War I she worked in Torquay in a Red Cross Hospital which gave her knowledge of poisons. It was very useful knowledge for her mysteries novels.
