And Then There Were None
Simply the best murder mystery ever written.
It is flawlessly written--I have read it probably 20 times. Ten people invited to an island
where they are murdered one by one. What could be more intriguing and mysterious?
The attention to detail--the nursery rhyme posted in each of their rooms, the back
stories for each of their characters, the red herrings, and the stormy atmosphere of the
island is superb. It makes a great movie too--and could be re-done magnificently by
one of our current great filmmakers. Steven Spielberg or Kenneth Branagh --are you
reading this?
Probably Agatha Christie's best novel!
A book full of thrill, mystery, and suspense! I love the unusual death of everyone--
following the nursery rhyme, and how each indian boy on the table disappear every
time someone dies. Also, the shocking ending which makes this book a genius! A
great work of Agatha Christie, must-read and highly recommended!
I had the original book titled 'Ten Little Niggers'. I think the original title was mind
blowing and seeing titles like 'ten little indians' and 'ten little soldiers' just spoils the fun.
The book is a masterpiece in itself. The plot is thought out very carefully and the
reader is in complete suspense till the end. Definitely one of Agatha Christie's best. I
don't have my original book anymore. Gave it to someone who did not return it. But
anyway, to all those who haven't read it... Its not a compulsion, but a good read for all
those who are into this genre. Enjoy

Murder on the Orient Express
This was definitely the most suspenseful of all time. I was so sure I knew who did it,
and then I was so sure again, and I was so sure again, and then I read the end and sat
there, stunned, for something like five minutes! Incredible read!
The end surprised the hell out of me! Exceptional book!
One of the most exciting books never read a plot as good as this fabulous
exceptionality. Long live AGATHA CHRISTIE

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
one of the most ingenious books of christie. A true brain teaser. Proves that you can
never take anything for granted. Simply superb.
You'll never guess who the killer is in this! You'll have to suspect everyone!

Death on the Nile

Very good and unbelievable. Christie takes us through the magic world of detective
fiction.
You'll find yourself cheering for the murderer! An amazing mystery!

Curtain
the best possible farewell to Poirot the legend. for the last time the little Belgin shows
his skills and how...
it's the legendary end for Hercule Poirot legend. agatha christie used all of her tricks in
this book, I was confused as hell when reading it!
Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings team up to solve their very last mystery. Ending is
sort of sad.

Sad Cypress
Despite the intriguing plot, this book is a phenomenally written novel with an exemplary
twist and a message of hope. One of my favourites!
My favorite Poirot and 2nd favorite Agatha Christie book behind And Then There Were
None. Amazing characters and setup. Great book!
An exceptional plot with a hint of a love story. Very deceptive and cunning.
Evil Under the Sun
I cannot explain how wonderful this novel is. The exotic location, the baffling mystery,
the interesting characters, and of course, the ending was the cherry on top! Wonderful
Poirot novel!
Wonderful mystery... It keeps you guessing till the end
amazing book!
This has everything! Love, Betrayal, Innocence, A grand house cut off by the tide and
secret meetings... EPIC best novel ever
The Hollow
A Murder is Announced
One of Mrs Christie's most baffling novels. Shows Miss Marple's no less than Monsieur
Hercule Poirot
Mystery everywhere in this! So suspenseful and I Couldn't put it down. I remember I
had a huge SAT test in the early morning for school and my mom told me to go to bed
early, but I stayed up until 2:00 AM and finished it and I was blown away by the
ending!

Murder in Mesopotamia
Perfectly pasced. Hercule Poirot doesn't even appear until well into the story but it's such a well written novel, it
only makes it better when he does. Along with "Death on the Nile, " her best "Middle East" set novels.
It is a very thrilling and awesome.
I like the story
Hercule Poirot's Christmas
One Mrs. Christie most baffling novels ensure you have adequate information on science and heredity before
you read it. Monsieur Poirot embarrasses Sherlock Holmes.
Peril at End House
Superb! Confuses you in every corner! I could not put the book down, I've read 5 times!

"The Best less-known of agatha christie's books. Every plot point is a big surprise. The clues are pitch perfect.
The end is unforgettable. A superb example of how clever can be the good old dame of mystery "

Cards on the Table
Five Little Pigs
Possibly Christie's best. She weaves an incredible tale of tragedy and mistaken guilt that ultimately feels almost
heart-breakingly inevitable. Poirot does it like no one else.
Thrilling read...5 suspects... A murder that took place 16 years ago... One of Poirot's most difficult nuts to crack!
One of the most satisfying endings to be read from a book.

The first Hercule Poirot mystery.
A great start to a masterful series!
Nice twist at the end.
Lord Edgware Dies
Another masterpiece by the world's greatest writer! All the Poirot books with Captain Hastings in it is the best!
The best Poirot book ever! The first Christie book I read and the best! If you can guess the ending right, you
must be the worlds greatest detective!
Death in the Clouds
Awesome mystery! Step aside Sherlock Holmes, and welcome Hercule Poirot!
Crooked House
The first agatha christie novel I read... Made me wanna read more of her!
