| Another boring Agatha Christie novel. I read it on a plane. Ugh. |

I read lots of AC novels growing up, and although I don't know if I'd care for them now, I remember liking:
The Mysterious Affair at Styles
Murder on the Links
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
The Mirror Crack'd
The Big Four
Ten Little Indians
The Mysterious Mr. Quin
YMMV, of course. |

"Ackroyd" is a classic. If you're reading this and don't know what I'm talking about, I'm not going to spoil it for you. Christie's powers diminished considerably after WWII. Her best works were the early ones. Seek those out if you're new to AC.
