Agatha Christie

Hello everyone. I would like to start reading the mysteries of Agatha Christie. Can anyone recommend me where to get started? There are so many novels, I am overwhelmed.

Not really a recommendation, but I started from (what to me are) the most famous of the Poirot series - ABC Murder and Murder on the Orient Express. Afterwards, the rest of the series don't interest me as much now, frankly...so perhaps don't start with those 2!

The thing about Agatha Christie is that her output is remarkably even- all pretty darn good, nothing you'ld call great. Poirot is such a popular character that most people get hooked on him, although Miss Marple has her points. I read about 25 of them maybe 30 years ago, but have never been tempeted to go back.

I read in the summer of 2000 a couple of Christie's novels, not in English but translated into my native language. I picked them randomly but they liked me a lot. They were "The body in the library" and "Hallowe'en party".

As a curiosity, Alfred Brendel talks about Christie's novels in one of his books...
