We take a look at the pick of the recent crop of Agatha Christie adaptations. In total, Christie - who died in 1976 aged 85 - wrote 66 novels and 14 short stories, many of which have found their way onto screens big and small. Hugh Laurie, meanwhile, picked a lesser-known Christie title - Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? - off the shelf to adapt and direct an entertaining mini-series for BritBox. In 2017, Kenneth Branagh directed a start-studded adaptation of Christie favourite Murder on the Orient Express, and followed it up with this year's Death on the Nile.

In 1928 the first film adaptation of a Christie story, The Passing of Mr Quin, was released and they’ve kept coming ever since. Since the publication of her first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in 1920, demand for her quintessentially English mysteries has always been high.

Whether they’re set in an exotic location like Egypt or in a quiet country village, Christie’s timeless tales of greed, love and murder still provide thrilling escapism - and a gripping finale as the killer - or killers - are revealed.
