Any Agatha Christie fans around?

Question

Did Agatha Christie ever use the character name "Cricket" in one of her books ? I am writing a British murder mystery play, and I want to be careful I am not duplicating a character name, or at least be able to give credit where credit is due. Unless it is a common nickname? Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Yup I'm one of her fans ! ^_^
Hm as far as I remember I don't think she ever used the character name "Cricket" . Anyway using a name that has been used before in other publications doesn't make it a right for the writer to claim it for exclusive use .
