3 Agatha Christie books to read this November ☠
Hello everyone!๐ With rainy days upon us, we thought we'd drop by and give you our recommendations for books by the Duchess of Death, Agatha Christie, to make sure you get the spooky vibes of a good murder mystery.
Christie is known for her incredible work with characters such as Hercule Poirot, the unique Belgian detective and Miss Marple, the charismatic elderly woman with a penchant for mysteries. Are her two icons in our recommendations?
Our recommendations start with:
☠ And Then There Were None
This was the first Christie book we both read and we have to admit that we started with one of her best works.
10 individuals who seem to have nothing in common receive an invitation from a Mr. Owen to visit his mansion on an secluded island. Despite the fact that none of the guests knows the host, they all respond to the invitation and turn up for dinner despite the absence of the person who invited them. Then one of the guests dies under strange circumstances and a little of the veil that lets us know what all these guests have in common begins to lift...
The plot of this book features incredibly well-developed characters and an isolated environment that will increase your despair as you realise what dangers await our characters ๐ฅ.
☠ The Crooked House
If you've ever seen the movie Knives Out, you're sure to love this lesser-known work by Christie that she was always careful to proclaim as one of her favourites ⭐.
With the classic vintage look and old money vibe being perpetuated on every page, the story follows the Leonides family who lives in a marvellously rich mansion owned by an old millionaire. The whole family becomes suspicious when he is found dead even though there are favourites, like his young widow.
It's up to Charles Hayward, our narrator, to find out if the initial suspicions are confirmed or if someone more dangerous is roaming the corridors of the old mansion.
☠ The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
There's no escaping one of the most interesting cases of our unique Belgian detective. In a small, quiet village, King's Abbot, a woman suspected of killing her cruel husband commits suicide. Roger Ackroyd suspects that something else is going on. That the woman he was in love with has been blackmailed to the point of desperation and that the person responsible may still be at large and willing to do anything to cover his tracks. Even if it means killing! And Roger Ackroyd is on the trail!
The village doctor, Dr. Sheppard, shares his suspicions and concerns with his neighbour, a retired detective who is none other than Hercule Poirot ๐ต๐ป.
As one of Agatha Christie's most notorious and intriguing cases, this story brings to life one of the most horrifying characters ever created.

☠ The Moving Finger
For those who want something more picturesque and comforting, but with a good amount of intrigue, there's nothing better than travelling to the quiet village of Lymstock. Our narrator, Jerry Burton, takes refuge in this village with his sister Joanna to recover from a serious accident. However, their peace is immediately disturbed by the arrival of anonymous letters, some of which seem to reveal the population's darkest secrets and intrigues.
When one of these letters results in tragedy, the police get involved and Jerry becomes increasingly interested in the mystery of who is spreading these letters. But he won't be alone in his investigation. He is joined by an old lady visiting the village, the astute Miss Jane Marple๐ต๐ผ.
And that concludes our recommendations of classics by the incredible Agatha Christie. We hope you enjoyed them and have fun!๐ค Let us know your favourites by Agatha Christie in the comments.
