I recently was recommended an Agatha Christie novel by my bf. And i finished it in one day bc it was so good. Now i genuinely am interested in reading more of her books but she has so many and i want suggestions on where to start. So far, i have read murder on the orient express and ‘and then there were none…’ Thank you!!

Don’t know which one you read, but Murder on the Orient Express is easily required reading.
Try Evil Under the Sun (great twist at the end) or The Moving Finger (poison pen letters in a village).
“The ABC Murders”, “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd”, and “Death on the Nile” are some of my favorite Christie books outside the two you listed. If you want to read her first Poirot mystery, “The Mysterious Affair at Styles” is a good choice – Christie is said to have written it on a bet that no one could guess who the criminal was.
Endless Night might be my favorite.
Some of my favorites are Crooked House, Endless Night, Death on the Nile and the Mirror Cracked From Side to Side
I most recently read through Peril at End House and The Patriotic Murders, both completed in roughly a day each due to how well they play out. I know they’re not her big hitters, but even the run of the mill stories are a blast to read.
Absolutely read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.
The ABC murders
Hallowe’en Party & 4:50 from Paddington are two I’ve read that I really enjoyed and don’t see recommended here.
Endless Night, Death on the Nile & The ABC Murders are also favourites of mine.
And Then There Were None was one of my favs
i guess stick to Christie’s books from the 1930s and 1940s
Endless Night, The Pale Horse, Sparkling Cyanide, The Crooked House, and Towards Zero are great standalone murder mysteries.
Death on the Nile, Five Little Pigs, Peril at the End House, The ABC murders are great murder mysteries featuring Poirot.
Murder at the Vicarage, A Murder is Announced, A Caribbean Mystery are great murder mysteries featuring Miss Marple.
