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.

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.

Agatha Christie is the queen of mystery for good reason. I’ve read over 40 of her works and these are what I would put in an Agatha Christie starter pack for someone looking for a place to start and get a broad understanding of what kinds of mysteries she can do well. Some are short stories others are full novels. Some are heists, some are ghost stories, some are your standard whodunnit mysteries.
