The titles of at least two Agatha Christie novels derive from lines in Shakespeare. The two that spring to mind are "By the pricking of my thumbs." and "Taken at the flood."
The first is a line from Macbeth "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.". The second is from Julius Ceasar "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune."
