Watching this brings home to me just how many wonderful books Christie wrote. She's truly peerless.

‘The Murder of Roger Ackroyd’ is a master class.

I'm glad someone else likes Cards on the table so much, it's such an underrated novel, one of my favourites!

[killwaine]

And Then There Were None was my first Agatha Christie read and when I finished the book I haven't slept soundly for a few days. I have read 5 books of hers so far and I'm wanting more. Thanks for this ranking

i recently binged a lot of Christie and I noticed that in the ABC murder Poirot and Hastings are musing about what murder they would like to investigate to indulge themselves. Hastings, of course, wants a big dramatic murder, but Poirot kind of scoffs and says his ideal murder case is just some people playing bridge and one of them dying.
I just looked up the publishing dates and ABC mystery was published on the 6th of januari, 1936, and Cards on the table was published on november 2th, 1936. So. I guess that was a wink to the audience of that time, that's so sweet

This bring back the memories of how I found your chanel more than 2 years ago. I remember seeing those deep analysis of individual mysteries. I thought "Damn! that lady found so much in a detective story, God knows what she will find in a Dostoevsky" lol. Subscribed even before the end of the first video.
Of course with such a massive body of work, there will be lots of different ranking. I have the same 2 & 3, but my number 1 is The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, which you are already aware that it is lots of people favourite.
Mild surprises are : A Murder is Announced, and Evil Under The Sun. Expected them to be little bit higher. My biggest surprise is probably how high is Pale Horse.

I love your rankings. I am a big fan of Poirot and Miss Marple and I am so glad that someone, other than me, enjoys Sleeping Murder. I have had a hard time reading The Secret of Chimneys, but I may try again. Thanks, Lovely.

Recently read Endless Night and even though it's insanely over the top, I did enjoy the twist but had suspected it. Had I not read other Christie's that utilised the same plot twists, I would have loved it.

I’m surprised we didn’t see a version of this before. This is the comprehensive video I need.

[FarrahLily]

This was amazing! I haven't read a single Christie novel ever before and I'm so inspired to start now. I'm going to start from your least faves and work my way to the best ones. I just know I'm going to love her. Thank you!!!!

This video just left a big smile on my face. I'm making my way through Christie canon too and have a few objectively not-so-good blind spots (I know a number of the Tommy&Tuppence stories are not really that great but I have a huge weakness for crime-solving couples), and it's always so much fun to compare notes with someone who read them all.

[maxnochill]

Death on the Nile is my favorite for setting and I think it has the best characterization. Jacqueline and Linette dynamic is amazing, sun and moon imagery and then it's set in Egypt with all it's related sun imagery.... just on pure writing technique I think its the best.

[tranquilitybasehotelcasino]

this is how i found you!! can’t wait to see the updated version ❤️

[nicolezinn]

Loved this video! Can’t wait to read Cards on the Table later this year!

[gaiaathena-books]

What an amazing accomplishment reading all Agatha Christie books! I have only read a few so far, my favourite so far is Murder on the Orient Express. What a great video, now I have more of an idea of which ones to read next and which ones to maybe leave until later on.

[becky]

My top two are Death on the Nile and Then There None. I go back and forth on which is my favorite. I do love Miss Marple and has a special place in my heart for A Murder is Announced,

[hshfvtm]

As much as I adore the best of the best Christie mysteries like The Mysterious Affair at Styles, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, And Then There Were None, The ABC Murders
I must say
That
DEATH ON THE NILE IS PERFECTION AND IS SO DAMN UNDERRATED AND I LOVE YOU FOR LOVING IT TOO

I remember reading a lot of Christie books in my middle school / highschool years. The ones that kept with me over the years were The Sercret of Chimneys, which I think is the first one I read and made me fall in love with murder myster as a genre, and Crooked House, which I found very disturbing. I also still remember the deciding piece of evidence that lead to the discovery of the murderer in Evil under the Sun. I think the description of the house and seaside sorroundings in that book helped me make up a very detailed picture in my mind, which I can still see flashes of.

[katiehoward]

You re-ignited my middle school love of Christie for me, and my thirties have been oh so cozy ever since! Can’t wait to enjoy this while doing dishes 😜
