  Rosalind Hicks - Telegraph
Rosalind Hicks, who died on October 28 aged 85, fought to protect the reputation and literary legacy of her mother, the crime novelist Dame Agatha Christie, after her death in 1976.
Rosalind Hicks was determined to remain true to her mother's vision and to protect the integrity of her creations, considering what her mother's wishes would have been with regard to the exploitation of the enormous numbers of copyrights in every market in the world.
Rosalind Hicks was said to be furious with Cade's account, and, at the annual meeting of the Agatha Christie Society in 1998, her son, Mathew Prichard, launched a virulent attack on Cade's theory, advising members of the society not to buy the book.

 The Scotsman - Obituaries - Rosalind Hicks
Hicks championed the novels and steadfastly furthered her mother’s claims to be accepted as a writer of substance.
Eventually, Hicks somewhat relented and commissioned Janet Morgan to write an authorised biography of her mother in 1984, but the question marks over that disappearance were left unresolved and haunted the family to the end.
Hicks was determined to remain true to her mother’s original intentions and not to allow them to become over commercialised or trivialised.

Hicks championed the novels and steadfastly furthered her mother’s claims to be accepted as a writer of substance.
Hicks most certainly enjoyed the Sidney Lumet film of Murder on the Orient Express with Albert Finney as the Belgian detective with his "little grey cells" and later television dramatisations starring John Suchet (as Poirot) and Joan Hickson (as Marples) gained her approval.

 Guardian | Rosalind Hicks
Rosalind's stepfather, Max Mallowan, the archaeologist, was 15 years younger than her mother.
These expeditions, a London season, and other travel occupied Rosalind, who was tall and handsome, with dark hair and a high colour, until her marriage in 1941, to Hubert Prichard, a regular soldier in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.
It was from Greenway, after Agatha's death in 1976, that Rosalind sent fierce letters to those whom she thought wished to alter, betray or cynically exploit her mother's work.

Claire, who is variously described as Ms Hicks and Mrs Hicks in the West Australian article of 11th May 2002 apparently had an 84-year-old sister, in South Australia.
Hicks may not be Claire's maiden name, and there again it could be, but was she ever married, and if so what was that name?
The surname Hicks is a derivation of Richard, which means 'rule-hard', strict observance etc. Mind you, a hick is a country bumpkin a peasant, the original meaning of pagan but that is just an observation.

During World War I she worked as a pharmacist, a job that also influenced her work: many of the murders in her books are carried out with poison.
She had a great fondness for Miss Marple however, as she had based her characterisation largely on her own grandmother, so she allowed Miss Marple to solve one more mystery in Sleeping Murder and return to the solitude of her village.

The series was based on the books by Agatha Christie, and Christie’s daughter, Rosalind Hicks, had seen Suchet in the TV miniseries Blott on the Landscape and had thought at the time that he would be perfect as the fastidious detective Hercule Poirot.
