I have been reading Agatha Christie on and off for years. I love her books, they don't pretend to be great literature, just great puzzles. I adore the extreme "Englishness" of her plots, all tea and scones and hats and gloves. I have decided to read all her crime books in order of publication. With 66 novels and over 100 short stories, it could take me a while. I'll review each one and add them to the book reviews blog area. You can filter for just the Christie books by clicking on "The Great Agatha Christie Challenge" in the Tag Cloud on the right hand side.
Below is a list of all her books, taken from the Official Agatha Christie Website. So off I go!
