Recs if you like Hercule Poirot's Christmas ...

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 This list does not include any of her unpublished works.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.

i'm on an absolute murder mystery KICK at the moment. having watched the new knives out twice already (mild spoilers ahead) i've been thinking about the subgenre of locked room murder mysteries and decided to compile a list of them!

definition: a locked room mystery involves a seemingly "impossible crime". in these, the murder is committed under circumstances where it appears impossible for the killer to enter and leave the room undetected. and yet it IS possible!

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.

A largely comprehensive list of the original Hercule Poirot novels and key short stories.

📫 updating in progress …

the complete series by agatha christie

all the Poirot novels

Read Christie 2026 is the official reading challenge from Agatha Christie Ltd, which explores 12 stories throughout the year. This year's theme is Biggest, Best and Beloved. The theme seeks to champion the Queen of Crime’s works that have made the largest impact on readers and the mystery genre.

Cozy Winter Mysteries!

Mystery novels (and maybe a few thrillers) that have a theme of Christmas or other winter holidays, or an overall wintery theme. Please give suggestions!

A man with an egg shaped head and an impeccable mustache solves a series of murders. He may be retired, but he sure has a knack for finding murder by happenstance.

Since my ‘So you want to be an Agatha Christie Completist?’ list is not eligible for a quest, I have split her works into three lists with the hopes that one Agatha Christie list will be chosen for a Universe Quest in the future. See ‘Miss Marple Universe’, ‘Tommy & Tuppence Universe’ for other Agatha Christie related universe list.

This is a perfect start into the genre of jaw-dropping, hair-raising and masterfully crafted crime fiction novels written by Agatha Christie, where each story is woven with precision and will keep you hooked till the very end. Warning: Once you start this, you may not be able to place the books down.

Because the most wonderful time of the year means curling up with a good mystery

Most of these will be murder mysteries surrounding the Christmas season, but some are also winter-themed and/or less gruesome mysteries.

Plot twists, red herrings, and endings you won’t see coming.
