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

Death on the Nile

You want to start out reading a good mystery? Then start out with this one!

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 endamazing 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

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.
