I have decided to make a separate Agatha Christie list on the blog and read my way through the whole entire collection she put out. It may take months and years – she was very prolific – but I’ll take my time and read every single one. There is just something about her stories that I utterly adore.
I personally do not enjoy the whole Middle Eastern setting in some of her mystery books, but I’m going to read them anyway for this challenge. Nor am I a big fan of Tommy and Tuppence, so I’m starting with Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, and if I feel like adding the rest, I shall. For now, we stick to these two detectives from the many wonderful books written by Agatha Christie.
Agatha Christie Reading Challenge – Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple and more!
The ones with links are the ones I’ve read and reviewed on the blog. The rest I haven’t gotten to yet, but when I do, I will update the links here.
All books are listed in the order on the Goodreads list, which does not really tally with the list on the official Agatha Christie website, or her bibliography on Wikipedia. But I will stick to it for the sake of convenience. I am clearly not reading them in any semblance of order, but still I thought it would be nice to arrange them so.
