However, the second instance of "her," an object pronoun, is incorrect: "inspired her [Agatha Christie, who is not an object in this sentence] to write..."

inspired "her" 这里的her想要指代AC，但是前文只出现过Agatha Christie's travels，即AC的所有格形式，所以无法指代

这里her指代的是Agatha’s 所以 with her archaeologist husband 对，但是inspired her这部分her其实是Agatha，但是Agatha‘s在这里是一个整体，不能指代到Agatha，所以语义有误
