    This is the fourth Tommy and Tuppence novel (a pair of protagonists who feature in five Agatha Christie novels). By the Pricking of My Thumbs is just as engrossing and intricately woven as we have come to expect from the best Agatha Christie books. We begin with Tommy and Tuppence visiting Tommy’s aunt Ada in a retirement home. There, Tuppence meet...

    A Murder is Announced is the fifth Miss Marple novel, and one of the best of the bunch. When an ad in the local paper boldly announces an upcoming murder, curious residents flock to the site, most of them expecting a silly game or prank to occur. What happens instead is that the lights go out, a gunshot rings out, and someone drops dead. A fantasti...

    The Body in the Library is probably one of the two most famous Miss Marple novels (the other being The Murder at the Vicarage, which we’ll come to). The titular library is not a public one, but rather the personal library of Colonel and Mrs Bantry, who awake to find a dead woman on the hearth rug. Luckily, Mrs Bantry is an old friend of Miss Marple...

    It would feel odd for a list of Agatha Christie books ranked not to feature her first-ever novel. Luckily for us, it’s also a good one. The Mysterious Affair at Styles marks another first: this novel introduced Christie’s most famous character: renowned Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. This novel was also originally written during World War I and ...

    While it is certainly one of the more famous Poirot murder mystery novels, The ABC Murders is neither the best nor the worst. It is, however, quite unique. Most of the best Agatha Christie books have a murder at their centre, and someone — often Poirot or Marple — to solve it. Here, however, we have the Belgian sleuth on the trail of a serial kille...

    The Murder at the Vicarage was not only the very first Miss Marple story, but it also remains the best and most famous of them all. While The Body in the Library was conspicuously light on the Christie wit that we come to expect, The Murder at the Vicarage is chock full of it. The humour here is really great. As for what it’s about, The Murder at t...

    When we hear the phrase “murder mystery” one scene that many of us will immediately picture is a dinner party hosted at a fancy house, like in the movie Clue. That’s exactly how Three Act Tragedy begins, which is enough to earn it a spot on this list of Agatha Christie books ranked. The best Agatha Christie books all have something unique about the...

    This is another really solid Tommy and Tuppence story from Agatha Christie. Following these books chronologically, you get to see the characters grow from ambitious youngsters to middle-aged retirees with kids of their own. The two ageing through the books actually plays into a theme in N or M? about how our worth often diminishes over time with so...

    The Secret Adversary was the first ever Tommy and Tuppence novel, and just like how The Murder at the Vicarage is Miss Marple’s best, this is Tommy and Tuppence’s best as well. Tuppence is arguably the most exciting and underrated Christie protagonist of the bunch. She is enigmatic and immediately likeable. In many ways the antithesis of Hercule Po...

    Alongside Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile is not only one of the most recognisable Poirot books, but one of the best Agatha Christie books. It’s certainly not a perfect murder mystery novel, but it remains strong even against the other Agatha Christie books ranked here. Death on the Nile is an unusually long book for Christie, and i...
