List of books by Agatha Christie

Nobody can write murder mysteries as good as Agatha Christie.

Agatha Christie is known as the ‘Queen of Crime’ and there are multiple reasons why Agatha Christie is so popular.

You find the plots unpredictable in each of her novels.

The characters are limited in number in her novels. Each of them has a strong connection to the plot so while reading the novel you can’t predict who is indeed the killer.

All characters of Christie, both recurring and exclusive, are inspired by her experiences which make them lifelike and you feel as if you’re not reading a fiction book rather a true story.

The locations and the backdrop are also inspired by her travel experiences, as Christie traveled a lot while writing. This gives them a touch of reality and compels you to visualize them clearly.

What makes Agatha Christie so popular is the endings of her novel where the killer is revealed, especially when the detective revealing the truth is Hercule Poirot.

The small details are observed and recorded by Hercule Poirot, arranged in order, on which he applies his methods, and thus arrive at an educated guess which gets 100% right.

The climax and the part of the novel where the killer is revealed take you on a joy ride. All these ingredients, mixed together, give you a fantastic reading experience.

When you’re feeling down in life, read three novels by Agatha Christie to feel intrigued and alive again.

This blog post gives you the complete collection of Agatha Christie’s books. I have categorized the list based on characters and other categories under which she wrote the novels.

So, gear up if you’re a murder mystery genre buff as listed below are Agatha Christie’s books in chronological order.

Hercule Poirot list of books
