Does anybody here read Agatha Christie?
I'm a fanatic. xD
I've been reading her books since the start of this year and I'm still not done cos they are sooooooooooo many! :biggrinlo
I absolutely <3 Hercule Poirot. Miss Jane Marple, not so much.
Something bout old fuddly grannies that put me off.
I also managed to catch The Mousetrap in London.
It was AWESOME!

I usually borrow her books from the library or grab them off the net at ebay or something. She's pretty famous so I never really have much difficulty getting any of her books. =) Bout a pdf format. hmmmmmm... I'm not sure if there is even any around =\

My mom has some books here, somewhere I think.. Haven't read something yet, but I've seen something on TV, based on a book of her.. I got some sleepless nights then. >.< But that's a while from now.

YAY! \o/
And there were none is one of her best books imo. The suspense, the way she writes is just awesome. It might take some getting use to, cos its old school english but the way she describes and ties everything together is just fantastic. <3
Btw, go read Curtain. It's the last book of Hercule Poirot and its SOOOO good. <.< He found a perfect murderer and he couldn't do anything to stop him. =)

Agatha Christie is one of the best mystery novelists I know. Unfortunately and due to the lack of time and resources I only managed to read one of her novels, the mystery of the seven dials to be exact. I absolutely loved it. Its amazing how unpredictable the plot of that novel was. I'm planning to get a few more of her novels sometime soon, hopefully I should have both the time and resources for it :P.
Agatha Christie is truly the queen of crime novels.
I have read several of her novels (though I have to admit it was a while ago) and they're very good. I usually prefer the Miss Marple books over Hercule Poirot, but I really enjoyed "Murder on the Orient Express"(? not sure of the English title). There's always that special twist to the story which is so fascinating.
