Dead Man's Folly is a 1956 novel by English mystery writer Agatha Christie. - AsNotedIn
In 1954, Agatha Christie wrote Hercule Poirot and the Greenshore Folly with the intention of donating the proceeds to a fund set up to buy stained glass windows for her local church, Church Of St Mary The Virgin at Churston Ferrers, and she filled the story with references to local places, including her own home of Greenway. But, having completed it, she decided instead to expand the story into a full-length novel, Dead Man's Folly, which was published two years later, and donated a Miss Marple story (Greenshaw's Folly) to the church fund instead.
