My mother loved them and after Enyd Blyton was probably my fist crime and mistery books. I will have to read them again and thanks to your post you have provide me with an excellent guide. Now to the point if I do have to mention at least my favourites in no particular order: MURDER AT THE VICARAGE, THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, SLEEPING MURDER and POIROT INVESTIGATES.Jose Ignacio Escribanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296527986083953692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-44185777926568324542010-05-16T13:03:17.933+09:302010-05-16T13:03:17.933+09:30Not sure what my top ten would be but my top five ...Not sure what my top ten would be but my top five is a little easier.<br /><br />And Then There Were None<br />The Mysterious Affair at Styles<br />Man in the Brown Suit<br />Murder on the Orient Express<br />The Secret Adversary<br /><br />I'm not finished with, The Mysterious Mr. Quin yet, but it will be a contender.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-72639245854213169702010-05-16T12:56:02.034+09:302010-05-16T12:56:02.034+09:30There are a few Christie titles which have remaine...There are a few Christie titles which have remained my all-time favourites til now. I started reading Christie's when I was 13, and completed 64 titles as of now (yes, I do count!!!)<br /><br />My top 5 Christie:<br />Sad Cypress<br />Murder of Roger Ackroyd<br />Death in the Clouds<br />After the Funeral<br />And Then There Were None<br /><br />Of course, my list may change anytime I find a new title to read. Right now I'm simply dying to get my hands on "Death Comes as the End", but nowhere here I can find it!!! Also, not all Christies are easy to obtain in my country, so sometimes I buy the translated versions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-89673903506943013062010-05-16T09:45:26.838+09:302010-05-16T09:45:26.838+09:30Great list.

Only yesterday evening I asked my mother what her favorite mystery ever was (and she has read way more than I have and not just because she is older) and she replied: Murder at the Vicarage :-)<br /><br />I think she has read all Agatha Christie-mysteries plus a gazillion other mysteries. I do remember Murder at the Vicarage myself, but I think that Death on the Nile or Murder in Mesopotamia are my number one AC-mystery.<br /><br />Have a great weekendLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-46282222035000818272010-05-15T18:39:20.433+09:302010-05-15T18:39:20.433+09:30My answer is based on the books I've read in t...My answer is based on the books I've read in the last few years when I started to re-read her books and read ones I'd not read before.

As you know I've recently re-read a few of the books but it wouldn't be fair to name just them.
