The famous novel "Murder on the Orient Express" was written by Agatha Christie. It was first published in 1934 and features her iconic detective character, Hercule Poirot, solving a murder mystery aboard the luxury train.
Some clues that lead to identifying the murderer in "And Then There Were None" include the character's past history with a suspicious death, their reaction to accusations made during the investigation, and their possession of a key piece of evidence. The murderer's behavior and interactions with others also provide subtle hints towards their guilt.
Poirot found the true will by identifying inconsistencies and discrepancies in the letters and behavior of the family members involved. He also closely analyzed the motives and actions of the suspects, eventually leading him to uncover the deception and reveal the true will.
"The Mystery at Styles" (a manor in rural England). It was set towards the end of WW1, in a village where British troops trained before going abroad and where a group of Belgian refugees lived thanks to the kindness of a local banefactor. She is a rich woman in her sixties, living in the respective manor with her ward, her two sons, her daughter-in-law, her second (and much younger) husband and her closest friend. One night she dies mysteriously, and Capt. Hastings (a friend of one of the sons) suggest they call in Monsieur Hercule Poirot, a pre-war acquaintance of his.

Hercule Poirot died in the last book of the Poirot series, Curtain: Poirot's Last Case (published in 1975). He was very elderly and suffering from heart disease and arthritis (although not to the extent that he wished the other protagonists in that novel to believe). Poirot is discovered to have died from a heart attack towards the end of the novel. He had put his amyl nitrite phials out of his own reach which had accelerated his death.
Agatha Christie wrote numerous other books aside from her famous Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple series. Some of her well-known standalone novels include "And Then There Were None," "Murder on the Orient Express," "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd," and "Death on the Nile." Her works span a wide range of mystery and detective fiction.

Miss Marple is a character, not an actress. She has been played at various times by Margaret Rutherford, Angela Lansbury, Joan Hickson, Geraldine McEwen and Julia McKenzie. Of these, Joan Hickson came closest to capturing the character as written by Agatha Christie. But who knows? Another actress may come along who will play the part even better. In any case, we can be sure that we have not yet seen the last screen appearance of the durable Christie character.
The first time he appears towards the end of WW1, whereas the last book is set in the 70s, I believe. However, most of the sort stores featuring Poirot are set in the Art Deco period (the 30s).
