  1. The Mysterious affair at Styles : Duh.. It’s the first book of the Poirot Series. An introduction to the man himself. It’s a delight meeting a not so conventional detective. The book will give you the taste of the brilliance of both Hercule Poirot and his creator AGATHA CHRISTIE.
  2. Elephants Can Remember: Solving a case might be feasible with a body, a crime scene and evidences, but how do you solve a case which occurred 14 years ago. The ingenuity of the problem and the beauty of the solution will leave you stunned. It will establish the odd little detective as one of the greats.
  3. Murder on the Orient Express: The first “Poirot” book that I read. A murdered man with 12 stab wounds. The train stuck in the snow with no place for the murderer to escape. Poirot closing in on the murderer in that confined space of a coach.A thrilling ride for the readers, not so much for the victim.
  4. The ABC Murders: A serial killer who chooses the city and the victims alphabetically and taunts Poirot before every kill. Catching a murder has been simple enough for our beloved detective, how will he fare against a serial killer. A page turner for sure.
  5. Poirot Investigates: A set of 11 crisp short exploits of the little Belgian detective.

P.s. BONUS for reading : A masterpiece which tells you why Agatha Christie is known as the QUEEN OF CRIME.

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE: 10 people arrive on an island which can get cutoff from mainland during high tide. In everyone’s room is a weird nursery rhyme. From the first night itself the men start dying as mentioned in the nursery rhyme. 9 people 1 homicidal maniac.Can they figure it out before every last one of them is dead?
