I did some search on this question in google and what I found is...
here in A "her" has no direct referent.
i.e.,In "Agatha Christie's travels", Agatha Christie's name is mentioned in possessive case so we cannot refer to her directly like "inspired her" but we can refer her in possessive sense like "her books".

Good stuff to learn from this question is...We shouldn't use pronouns to refer to nouns present indirectly in possessive case.
