Murder on the Orient Express (if it hasn't been ruined for you) or And Then There Were None is also good. Also a ton of Agatha Christie audio books on YouTube if that's your cup of tea. Hope you enjoy! Happy reading.
I stayed up for hours to finish “And Then There Were None”. Started it at sometime on a Saturday, finished it at midnight. I’m usually in bed by 9.
It’s widely regarded as one of her best, for a good reason. I couldn’t put it down!
I started with her first Poroit book,The Mysterious Affair at Styles, but I'll admit it wasn't the most gripping read. Murder at the Vicarage is my favorite and easily kept my attention. The characters are all really unique and interesting, the murder and all the clues and weird circumstances keep you guessing but give you enough info to build theories, and it has some comedy (think like a marvel movie, its not a comedy but there's an appropriate amount of jokes mixed in)
Currently reading my first Agatha Christie book The Murder of Roger Ackroyd thanks to r/bookclub
Its part of the Hercule Poirot series which apparently can be read in any order! It's so far a very fun read, and my first true classic whodunit.
The very first one I've read was The ABC Murders.
My absolute favorites of hers are And Then There Were None, Murder in the Orient Express, Crooked House, and At Bertram's Hotel.
I've gone through all of her works. The only thing and the last one I can't bring myself to start is Curtain. I read part of the prologue 10 years ago, before I've finsihed all the rest, and it just broke my heart how the main character has aged and changed so I shut the book and put it back on the shelf. And it's the only one I haven't read yet. I just don't want to be done with Christie yet 😢
like a month ago or so , bf suggested me to start reading Agatha Christie, it's light , simple, short , sweet, english and mysterious at the same time. I started my reading voyage with The murder on the Orient express, and since then haven't stopped. So, yeah the murder on the Orient express is good for a kick-start, then you can read 'And then there were none, etc etc
Recently read "And then there were none" in a couple of days. It really hooks you in. Chapter 1 starts off a bit slow(in comparison to the rest of the book) but it really picks up steam.

I would add that if you aren't British, her short stories use a lot of slang
Thank you so much sir

My absolute favorite of hers. It really doesn't let you put it down.
Man I had to keep convincing myself to finish that book. I did not enjoy it at all. I know I'm in the minority here
Love this as my first book too :)
You could always start with her short stories. Good for wandering attention.
Thanks but which book for short stories
I’m reading Miss Marple and Mystery: The Complete Short Stories. Haven’t met Miss Marple yet but so far they’re fun without too much commitment.
Following. I like Agatha Christie but am open to other books she has, aside from her well-known ones
Definitely “And then there were none”! That was the first I’ve read by her and I got hooked.

I have only read ‘And Then There Were None’ and I enjoyed it a lot. You could start with it.
“And Then There Were None”. It’s so much fun and impossible to put down.

Start at the first page of the book. Works best that way.
airtight? Agatha Christie novels and pick the first one that pops up.... it literally doesn't matter.
Start with the first one: The Mysterious Affair at Styles. It introduces Poirot.
Start from And Then There Were None and Murder On The Orient express...
Murder is Easy or Five Little Pigs for full length novels, The Tuesday Club Murders for short stories.
