Google UK has marked Agatha Christie's 120th anniversary with a special homepage doodle. The letter G has been transformed into Christie's character Hercule Poirot. There is even a dead body in the image - the body of a woman wearing pearls represents the letter "O" in Google.

The Guardian explains how Christie started writing mysteries after being dared to write one by her sister Madge.
