Yes - "Cards on the Table" is good. I also like "Peril at End House". Although I'm "Miss Marple", I perfer Poirot!

I thought "A Murder Is Announced" was so much fun to read. I can honestly say that there hasn't been Agatha Christie that I didn't enjoy, for one reason or another. Like JaneMarple, the Poirot books are my favorite, but I very much enjoy the Jane Marple mysteries, too.You know, doesn't time change our ideas, sometimes? Way back when I answered to this thread, I said my least favorite book was "Curtain", but after reading it again, several years later, I really enjoyed it. I, like poor old Hastings, didn't figure it all out until the very end. I am amazed by all the plots that Agatha Christie came up with. She is still so popular today because she was, above all else, a good writer.Has anyone read the text to her play "Verdict"? It really shows how very versatile she really was.If I ever go to London, one of the first things I'd like to do is her play "The Mousetrap".

"A Murder is Announced"...definate one of my favourite Miss Marples. Looking forward to seeing the new dramatisations of these books (I think they are doing four). I know that one of them with be "A Murder is Announced", with Elaine Paige in it, which should be good. I wouldn't like them to modernise the Miss Marples though. The David Suchet ones are just right!
I love most Christies! Some more than others, and then my favourites change from time to time.

"And Then There Were None." Why? Because that's the only one I've ever read. I did enjoy it though, so I should try some more.

I really like 'And Then There Were None' and 'The ABC Murders' mainly because of the brilliant twists at the end.

If I have not read all the Agatha Christie mysteries, then I have read most of them. And my favorite is still the first one I ever read, "And Then There Were None," because that is the one that introduced me to the joy of reading Agatha Christie.

Personally I like There is a Tide... and the Big Four. I'm not too sure why, they're completely different books.

I love having a comfortable afternoon with a Christie audio tape! Might nod off but the beauty of it is that you can rewind the tape and start again! At the moment I am listening to Three Act Tragedy, which is a good story!

My personal favourites are the Tommy and Tuppence novels. I like Murder on the Orient Express as it was one of the first Christies I read. I like And Then There Were None as well. I particularly like reading them in play format.

Yes, the Tommy and Tuppence novels are good too - my favourite out of them is N or M?
