There are so many books and several main characters. I would welcome any advice regarding a good way to start. If I really like them after reading a couple, I'll probably use the order of publishing. But I welcome your thoughts regarding a good way to get started and get a good taste and feel of her novels...at least one from each of her main 'categories'.

Thanks.
Hi! I have not read all of her novels, but I have read all of the Poirot novels. I read them in order or publication, and for me it helped me enjoy the character very much. There is some subtle growth in Poirot as you read thru the stories, and while they certainly could be read out of order or as standalone stories, I think your enjoyment of the series would be enhanced by reading them in order. Here's a link to the order.
