I have probably read more books about Agatha Christie the woman than I have read her actual books so I am really interested in seeing what titles people mention. The only book of hers I read as an adult was Hallowe’en Party and of course, I have seen a couple movies based on her books but this is definitely a gap in my reading.

I can’t recall if I have read an Agatha Christie book. Yikes!!

I’m sure I have.

I haven’t read one of her books since I was a kid. I actually have her listed on my TBR to do a reread this year.

I’ve read many of her novels (And Then There Were None, Orient Express, Death on the Nile, Murder at the Vicarage, etc.). She’s a classic. I love Death on the Nile because it was my first Christie and I remember finding her when I was younger.

I pretty much over the years have read all of Agatha Christie’s books. I can’t pick a favorite. I started reading them as a young girl.

I have not read any of Christie’s books, but need to get one on my TBR list!

It’s really tough to find them surprising, @Colleen_K because so many of them have been made into movies. Once you know “whodunnit” there’s really no way to find as much enjoyment in the books themselves, unfortunately. I remember reading several of them for the first time when I was young, though, and being shocked by the outcome. I particularly enjoyed And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express.

I’ve read many of them (and I’m a huge fan of the David Suchet series). My favorites are The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and Curtain. But they are all brilliant!

I have not read any Agatha Christie novels but I should. Enjoyed the quirky style!

I have read all of her books and my favorite is The ABC Murders.

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE was my first Agatha Christie book, read the entire book in one sitting!

When I think about it, I find that I’m really drawn to “locked room mysteries.” One of the characters has to be the murderer. I enjoy how authors who are masters of this genre move the suspicion from one character to another to keep readers guessing.

I have read many of Agatha Christie books. I could not name one that is a favorite. I am always surprised when I read her books what depth there is to them.

I think I have all of them. I started my collection, all bound in black, while I was in college. I prefer Poirot to Marple.

I have read a lot of her work. My favorite is Then There Were None.
