For new readers

Agatha Christie wrote quite a few great books, but naturally some are better than others. If you haven't read any of her books but would like to, here is a suggestion of which books to read first:

1. The Mysterious Affair at Styles
It's probably best to start with Christie's first book, where she introduces Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings. If you really like that book and feel you would like to read a lot of other Christie books, it could be a good idea to continue reading the books in the order of publication, but not start with all the best books (which are included in this 5 book list).

2. And then There Were None
One of Agatha Christie's best books - a classic. (Also known as Ten Little Indians / Ten Little Niggers.)

3. Murder on the Orient Express
Made famous by the film, but the book is great and the ending very surprising. Featuring Poirot.

4. Murder on the Links
A very entertaining Poirot story, also featuring Hastings.

5. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
A Hercule Poirot mystery - Christie's best book and her most famous one. Nevertheless it's best not to read that one first because such a great book deserves readers who have read a few Christie books before, so they can truly appreciate it.

If you want to get to know other Christie characters you can read The Secret Adversary (the first Tommy & Tuppence book) or The Murder at the Vicarage (the first Miss Marple book).
