Read Books by Agatha Christie

Book

The Big Four (2015)

This is a weird one. Apparently (I looked this up, because the book was so weird) Christie wrote a series of short stories about Poirot for some magazine and these stories were mashed together into this book. You can sort of tell that something like this is up, because the mashing didn't work all...

Book

And Then There Were None (2004)

يجب أن أعترف أن ضيق أفقي هو مامنعني من دخول عالم أجاثا كريستيفمنذ صغري لم تبهرني أغلفة قصصها المترجمة للعربيةكما أن معرفة والدي لافلامها وقراءة والدتي لروايتها منذ الصغر جعلني أشعر أن الغموض بهذه القصص سيكون "موضة قديمة" وألغازها ستكون مكشوفة ليناهيك عن مقولة "لابد أن الخادم هو من فعلها.. كقصص أج...

Book

Sleeping Murder (2003)

There are some Authors whose books you read and think "How did they think of that?" Their stories are so unique. Agatha Christie is one such author and Sleeping Murder is one such book that keeps you in a constant state of excitement with all its twists and turns all the while wowing you with i...

Book

Murder on the Orient Express (2004)

I do not like to write reviews of whodunits: you can't do justice to the analysis without explaining what happened in detail, but then it spoils the story for whoever has not read it. So, for those mystery lovers who have not read The Murder on the Orient Express so far, I will post a single lin...

Book

Miss Marple: The Complete Short Stories (1997)

If you are looking for mystery stories with slowly growing suspense and clever plot twists, then Miss Marple: The Complete Short Stories is the perfect book for you.

Book

Hallowe'en Party (2001)

It is Autumn, this week there have been storm clouds in the sky and wind pulling leaves off branches. I am preparing for Halloween and hopefully a horde of trick or treaters who will be knocking on doors in the near future. In my preparation, I was also listening to Christie’s ‘Hallowe’en Party.’...

Book

Taken at the Flood (2015)

أفضل ما يمكن قوله أنها رواية لم تنل ما تستحقّ من الشهرة.. فقد تكون جميع أعمال أغاثا كريستي معروفةً على ناطقٍ واسعٍ بطبيعة الحال، إلا أن ركوب التيار تحديداً لم تلقى تقديراً خاصاً من النقاد. ربما يكون ذوقي في الروايات غير اعتياديٍّ إلى حد ما، لكن بالنسبة لي... فإن هذه الرواية هي أفضل أعمال أغاثا كر...

Book

A Caribbean Mystery (2000)

Knowing whodunit, rereading is still pleasure. Christie cleverly complicates and confounds. Christie, at her best, makes stereotypical eccentrics believable, plucks essential clues, weaves questionable motivations and messy realisms to confound the reader before extricating the solution. Hotel gu...

Book

4:50 from Paddington (2007)

Elspeth McGillicuddy is not given to hallucinations. Until she witnesses a murder at Paddington Station. But did she? No victim, no suspect, no other witnesses.

Book

Book

Book

The A.B.C. Murders (2006)

What: paperbackWhat else: First person narrativeWherefore: it was on Mount TBR, and my Kindle was acting up Hastings: "I admit," I said, "that a second murder in a book often cheers things up."Poirot has semi-retired, but has discovered he is no better suited to the state than Holmes is said to h...

Book

Death in the Clouds (2015)

Death in the Air (aka Death in the Clouds) is another fine Agatha Christie outing. In this one, the murder takes place right under Hercule Poirot's airsick nose. Yes, fortunately for the killer, Poirot's famous little grey cells were sleeping their way across the Channel in order that he might no...

Book

Lord Edgware Dies (1977)

You might find this difficult to believe, but until this weekend I'd never knowingly read an Agatha Christie novel.I was in a youth hostel, had finished the books I'd taken and had to pick from their shelves.Having chosen and then decided against several of the more likely options, I came across ...

Book

Dead Man's Folly (2006)

Dead Man’s Folly I think I have read twice before – and have seen a TV adaptation too – so maybe it was no real surprise that I began to remember things after about 60 pages. It all remained very muddled in my head though and so I had to read on to see what I had remembered correctly. In Dead Man...

Book

Murder at the Vicarage (2006)

1930, #1 Miss Jane Marple, St. Mary Mead, rural Englandwise elderly spinster lady solves a tricky murder; truly deserves the label "classic cosy". Tame, quiet, and sweet, but there are some interesting edges to it as well. Not to be missed. When Colonel Protheroe, irascible church deacon and Big ...

Book

Third Girl (2015)

There is something just extra awesome about still finding joy in reading an author who passed away before I was born and wrote over sixty detective novels –it is amazing how I can always count on her to give me a quick, engrossing and complex read no matter which characters or twist she uses and ...

Book

At Bertram's Hotel (2015)

“I learned (what I suppose I really knew already) that one can never go back, that one should not ever try to go back—that the essence of life is going forward. Life is really a One Way Street, isn’t it?” I put a spoiler warning on this post not so much because I will discuss the details of the p...

Book

The Mystery of the Blue Train (2007)

لغز القطار الأزرق كالكثيرين، لأجاثا كريستي في مخيلتي مذاق المراهقة، عندما كنت أقرؤها في عصريات صيف بعيد، محاولاً بدأب معرفة القاتل، قبل أن يتوصل إليه هرقل بوارو، وهو مالم أفلح به أبداً، لأن أجاثا لم تكن عادلة، كانت تبقي أهم الخيوط بين يديها، لهذا لم تكن أجاثا كريستي مفضلة لدي في تلكم المرحلة، ب...

Book

The Moving Finger (2015)

I must have read this as a teenager in Devon during the 1970s but the fact that it was so obviously set down the road on the edge of Dartmoor completely passed me by at the time. I did see Agatha Christie in her garden at Greenway while on a boat trip down the river Dart from Totnes around that ...

Book

Cat Among the Pigeons (2005)

I finished reading this book two days ago. I read it in a little more than a day, ignoring any and all chores that I could, just so I could keep reading...I love it when a book grips me that much.I have read this book before, but the last time I read it, I was 16...that was 21 years ago.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles (2002)

Book

Dumb Witness (2015)

Well I now have a Hercule Poirot book I liked less than The Big Four and Mystery of the Blue Train. The beginning of the book was actually very good. Agatha Christie sets the stage by allowing readers into the home of Emily Arundell. Miss Arundell has never married. She has three relations left i...

Black Coffee (1999)

Book

The Secret of Chimneys (2015)

Agatha Christie, one of the greatest mystery writers of all time - some would say the greatest - was one author whose works I found too creepy to read when I was a kid. (I have to blame this on my sis; she used to feed me Christie's stories when we were alone in our room at night with the lights ...

Book

Appointment with Death (2015)

Well this one was not as well done as Death on the Nile. I think it was because it was pretty obvious after one character's utterance who did the crime in this one.Unlike with some other Poirot novels, Hercule really doesn't step up to the plate until about half way through the book. The first ha...

Book

Endless Night (2015)

Endless Night was one of Agatha Christie's own favourite novels, and one which received the most critical acclaim on its publication in 1967. It is her 58th detective novel.

Book

Death on the Nile (1978)

A few of my reviews are a bit later than I would like because my foot is suffering from a bad case of mummy rot [are their any good cases of mummy rot? -ed]. Why is my personal health relevant to this review? Because I was stricken with plague while within spitting distance of the Nile. And whi...

Book

The Mousetrap and Other Plays (2000)

In this anthology of four plays, I've read two of them as novels. I always find it interesting to see what's been changed when stories are brought into a different format. And Then There Were None is one of the notoriously different stories on stage, since it was assumed that the novel's ending w...

Book

Mrs. McGinty's Dead (2007)

Alas, Mrs. McGinty; we hardly knew you.Really. I mean that. She was a widow, a woman who cleaned houses and took in lodgers to make ends meet; had a niece whom she saw at holidays, and was perhaps a bit of a nosy parker; nothing extraordinary to fill the obituary. When Inspector Spence visits the...

Book

The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side (2015)

My pathway to this book, The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side was circuitous. Last Monday, I read Beyond the Looking Glass: Narcissism and Female Stardom in Studio-Era Hollywood by Ana Salzburg and there was a chapter on Gene Tierney. Salzburg notes that nowadays Tierney is mainly remembered for...

Book

Poirot Investigates (2015)

My first anthology of the year, and my first Christie or Poirot anthology. It also marks the start of a run of four anthologies in my reading list. Anthologies are a difficult thing to get right. Apart from the need to manage the theme of the anthology, there's nearly always a couple of weaker st...

Book

Peril at End House (2015)

Pusseldeckare är inget jag skulle säga att jag är välbekant med sedan tidigare, vilket var vad som sporrade mig att vilja läsa något av Agatha Christie för vad kan vara bättre än att börja med en av författarna som var med och grundade genren.Bookmark förlag har för en tid sedan börjat ge ut någr...

Book

Curtain (2000)

I started reading Agatha Christie novels when I was in middle school. My first book was, surprisingly, “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?“, which didn’t have Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple or even Tommy and Tuppence. It was a great mystery and pulled me into reading more Christie. After reading a bunch o...

Book

Three Blind Mice and Other Stories (2001)

1950, apa The Mousetrap, published in US only, includes the story that was the basis for her most famous play and 8 other stories of all styles and detectives.

Book

The Man in the Brown Suit (2015)

Upon rereading this books (some ten years after initially doing so) I had vague recollections of who the "bad guy" was, how some of the arcs played out, and that I loved the book!Even though I remembered the gist of who was good and who was bad, I was still questioning myself, "Wait, *IS* that ch...

They Do It with Mirrors (2000)

От: http://slovoyadets.blogspot.com/И пак... Агата Кристи. Тъкмо бях решил, че след "Убийство в Ориент Експрес" ще си подбера нещо съвсем различно, когато получих препоръка за тази книга.

Book

The Clocks (2004)

I was pleasantly surprised by this one.Let's get the bad stuff out of the way first. It's not very plausible at all. Somehow we have two spies and three murderers in the same block of apartment buildings. Somehow all these people co-exist independently not knowing of each other's existence. A...

Book

The Pale Horse (2002)

Early in this novel a character muses about how best to portray the Witches in a production of ‘Macbeth’.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (2006)

Up until the ending, I really did not understand why this book is widely considered to be the best (or at least the top five) of Christie’s books.

The Seven Dials Mystery (2015)

Seven Dials is Christie's subversion of the 1920s style thriller, only with a plucky female heroine and a subtle commentary on English society.

Book

The Mysterious Affair at Styles and The Secret Adversary (Complete Mystery Novel Collection of Agatha Christie Vol. 1) (2011)

This is an old favorite that never disappoints. I have found that Agatha Christie's plots are so complicated and the clues so complex that I have a hard time remembering who actually was guilty. I can read most of her books every 10 years or so and enjoy them all over again. Of course, there a...

Book

Parker Pyne Investigates (2003)

Love it. I haven’t even finished it, only read the first two of the book’s 12 stories, but I know the rest will be just as delightful. Not surprising, really.

Book

Elephants Can Remember (1984)

This is one of Dame Agatha's weakest mysteries. At least I think so now (I don't have a record of how I rated it the first time I read it). And I say that because Christie is one of the few mystery writers who can fool me almost every time. It doesn't matter how many times I've read her storie...
