Alright so you do not know this but I am a major Agatha Christie fan. I find that one of the best things to read on a holiday, in the train, plane, boat, car (if you can read in a car - I find it gets iffy when we're in the mountains and we start turning in every direction-) is one of the Hercule Poirot mysteries. So here are three really famous and rightly so novels from the Hercule Poirot series that you shouldn't miss.
Murder on the Orient Express
by Agatha Christie
On a train on a long way back home, Hercule Poirot finds himself trapped with a murderer and many alibis.
Death on the Nile
by Agatha Christie
A couple that Poirot saw once in London has broken off their engagement and the man has remmaried just in time for Poirot to catch the new wife and old boyfriend's honeymoon in Egypt. The old girlfriend, however, has been stalking the newly married couple and when Hercule Poirot tries to dissuade her she confides in him that she has dreams of killing her old boyfriend's new wife.
You can guess what happens next.
And then there were None
by Agatha Christie
This one is one of my favorites, not an Hercule Poirot though. It is quoted in almost everything and rightly so because it was one hell of a freaky book.
In it you will discover the perfect crime and why so many were worried about Agatha Christie's hobbies outside of writing.
