Agatha Christie




This page is dedicated to the Queen of Crime - the only writer whose works I have been consistently reading since I was an teenager. It's been forty years now, and I still love her, and re-read her books quite regularly.

This is the complete list of Agatha Christie's works in publishing time order, which I intend to read/re-read through perpetually in my lifetime. I divided them into four categories: CRIME NOVELS - SHORT STORIES - MARY WESTMACOTT'S - OTHERS. 

I will review every single work she's written, including her short stories - which I will read and review each singularly (not as a collection).

    I've just recently started my journey through Agatha Christie's works. You've read quite a few! I've only read a handful so far. Like you, I see this as a long reading project and am just taking my time with it. :)

      Hi Kate! It's nice to meet another Agatha Christie's enthusiast!
      Yes, plodding through her works seems to be the best way to admire the queen. And it guarantees to provide us so much fun many years to come! ;)
