Agatha Christie Advice Please
I'm about to start reading Agatha Christie. I love to read good mysteries and crime novels, but somehow have not read Christie.
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. |

I grew up reading her books. Books published under her name (about 89) can be found at
Best Agatha Christie Book (89 books) These are all murder mysteries.

Do not think she has written a bad book.
Find a series and pick the first of that series. |

One last question before I pick a book to start with...
Any advice regarding which series to start with...Poirot, Marple, or Tommy & Tuppence? |

The Butler did it!
My choice, Miss Marples. |

I don't think you need concern yourself about the order you read Agatha Christie. You will enjoy them I am sure.

I have not read many Christie books. That said I love "Ten Little Indians". It's published under a different name now due to political correctness. Don't hold me to this but I think it is now called "And Then There Were None". Great book and highly recommend.

I’ve heard others say they like Tommy and Tuppance as well as Poirot and Marple. Can you describe a bit why you don’t?

The British original was even more politically incorrect!
