Recs if you like A Pocket Full of Rye ...

This is for the ultimate Agatha Christie lover. She wrote 66 detective novels, 15 short story collections, 6 romance novels under Mary Westmacott, and published 17 plays on stage. This list does not include any of her unpublished works. Finishing this in completion gives you the ultimate bragging rights.

A collection of mysteries where the retirees, pensioners, and silver‑haired legends of small towns take crime into their own hands. Sometimes they are solving it, sometimes they causing it, and sometimes they might be doing a bit of both.

wise, funny main characters in their golden years who solve crimes and murders! think the thursday murder club, a man on the inside, etc.!

You've read the big names like Murder on the Orient Express or And Then There Were None...are you ready for the rest? This list is specifically only Agatha Christie's novels and short stories in publication order (starting at the top of list so you can easily follow it down) including the Mary Westmacott non-mystery books.

Here's me keeping track of (most) of the books mentioned in this non-fiction adventure, for the good of all of us.

There is also a reading list at the back of the book, but I think I got them all.

mysteries and thrillers in which the victim high-key sucks. rest in pieces, shitheads! love to hate 'em, we will not miss them. disclaimer: while the list creator is a certified hater, in no way is the list creator or pagebound condoning or encouraging violence, even in situations when that person does, in fact, suck.

Agatha Christie's (in)complete works collected in one place for aspiring sleuths.

📫 updating in progress …

I want to be Miss Marple when I grow up. I want to live in a cottage in a tiny village and solve crime without having to run around or do anything dangerous, just drink tea and knit. For me these are the original cosy crime stories and Agatha Christie will always be the queen of this genre.

Not always my favourite books by the English Canon writers, but the ones which are a good introduction. You know, to see if you get along.
