Agatha Christie...3 personal best ?

[bluedolphin]

I have just finished my first A.C. book 'and then ther were none' I realise she wrote over 70 crime novels ...I would like to read some more and would appreciate if anyone could let me know any of their personal favorites A.C. novels so that I can avoid the not so good ones.

I think you've just read the best one,bluedolphin!

The ones that are considered the finest (Murder of Roger Ackroyd for example) are much too wordy and complicated for me, so I would choose :'Murder in the Vicarage' - Death on the Nile' and 'Body in the Library'

[comloulou]

Depends on your preference, doddery old dorris (Miss Marples) or Belgian super sleuth (Poirot), I personally like the Belgian best!

[FTVS]

Murder of Roger Ackroyd in my view IS the best but I also really liked the ABC Murders, Five Little Pigs and Murder on the Links. From which you will see I am a Poirot fan. i could live woth Miss Marple but I LOATHE Tommy and Tuppence!

[Toglet]

I quite like the ones she wrote as "Mary Westmacott".

[woofgang]

No doubt for me its "At Bertram's Hotel" but have you tried Dorothy Sayers and Marjorie Allingham (Lord Peter Wimsey and Albert Campion)

Another good book i liked was " And there was none " or it was also known as "10 little indians".10 people are invited on to this island but then the killings start to begin and the number of people on the island begins to get smaller.

Actually, it was originally entitled "10 Little N1ggers", supposedly because the island looked like the (charicature of) an Afro-Carribean in profile - although obviously it tends not to get called that in these more politically correct times.
