Google has marked the 120 birthday of the legendary mystery writer Agatha Christie with a doodle on its homepage.

The internet search giant has celebrated the anniversary of the famous British author with an elaborate doodle depicting the famous Belgian detective from her novels, Hercule Poirot.

The Google doodle depicts the letter ‘G’ wearing the hat and a moustache belonging to the famous detective, while the remaining letters are also dressed up as famous characters taken from her crime mystery novels, theTelegraph has reported.

Agatha Christie, who was born on 15 September 1890 and died in January 1976, wrote more than 90 books, selling an estimated four billion copies worldwide, and around one million copies for her publisher Harper Collins each year – a figure surpassed only by Shakespeare and the Bible.

Harper Collins has said that her books have never been out of print since her death.

She also wrote a number of West End performances, including the world’s longest running play The Mousetrap.

Users can chase the balls around their screen, or cause them to bounce in place with the movement of their mouse.

The company regularly adds doodles to its site, usually put in place to mark an iconic event, with this one apparently up to celebrate Google’s 12th birthday.

British newspaper the Guardian reports that Google first opened its doors on 7 September 1998 in Menlo Park, California

Before this became apparent, web users and tech pundits alike flooded the internet with queries, attempting to discover the motive behind the new doodle.

The new doodle follows the recent Buckyball, and second interactive, doodle, celebrating the anniversary of the discovery of the Buckyball. The company had replaced one of the ‘Os’ in its logo with a rotating Buckyball.

The first interactive doodle was a fully functional version of the game PacMan, put up to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the game. The PacMan doodle can still be found and played here.
