Agatha Christie Newbie....

[BaconAndAvocado]

Love a good whodunnit and have always meant to try an AC but just never got round to it.

Where should I start?

Death on the Nile is probably my favourite Also love Evil Under the Sun. Am a bit jealous you're getting to read them for the first time!

Thank you Anatomical I think they’re Poirot aren’t they?

Will try and read before I see the film!

Looking back to my teens I think I may have read an AC book in the Tuppence and Tommy Series? It was televised in the 80s and I thought it was very glam!

Oh, fancy having the whole lot to try!

Murder on the Orient express is still one of the best.

I love Miss Marple though (could watch the old films for hours).

Definitely agree with the poster above. Evil under the Sun is my favourite. Death on the Nile or Murder on the Orient Express. Prefer Poirot to Marple. The Mirror Crack’d is my fav Marple.

Crooked House is my favourite

I'm a sucker for chronology, The Mysterious Affair at Styles is a brilliant place to start

And then there were none is my favourite. With Poirot I would start chronologically with ‘The mysterious affair at styles’ as a great introduction to the characters.

this is actually terrifying. Most of them are entertainment, but this one was a true thriller!

And then there were none is hands down my favourite book ever. I have the audiobook. The okay audiobook and the wonderful adaption they did. Did I mention it’s my fav?

I love And Then there were None. And a Mirror Cracked.

I agree go chronological.

But the best is the death of roger ackroyd

I also like Crooked House. But there’s so much to choose from! I find the Miss Marple books slightly darker than Poirot, but still good.

And then there were none is also creepy!

There’s also the short-stories too with Poirot (these have been televised) and Miss Marple.

'And then there were none' is one of my favourite books ever.

'The Mirror Crack'd' is another good one.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

Cat Among the Pigeons is my favourite.

Thanks everyone.
Looking forward to starting with The Mysterious Affair at Styles soon.

The one that really stayed with me was Sleeping Murder. I think it's why I hate dentists going in my mouth with gloves on.

I adore all of them, esp Poirot and And The There Were None, but my favourite is an odd and atmospheric one told from the point of view of a 20-something-year-old man, Endless Night.

Abc murders is my favourite Poirot

If you like Tommy and Tuppence you need to read The Secret Adversary.

Im obsessed with Agatha christie. My favourite is By the pricking of my thumbs which is a Tommy and Tuppence one. Actually I might have two favourites as I also adore Nemesis.
Also love Cat amongst the pigeons, Murder at the Vicarage and N or M.

I'd agree with your other choices but not keen on By The Pricking of My Thumbs. I do like the Tommy and Tuppence short stories though!

I'm watching the old Joan Hickson Marples at the moment. Love. Pocketful of Rye and Nemesis are fabulous.

Roger Ackroyd is pretty pedestrian other than the one famous element tbh.

I read passenger from Frankfurt recently and enjoyed. The ABC murders is one of my favourites.

I love the Mr Quinn stories. They are short stories and really odd.

And Then There Were None had a (now forbidden) different title when I first read it.
