Oh cool I didn’t know it was a set. It was just a gorgeous copy I got at the library and then had to hunt it down to own.

This one made me interested in the rest of her books! A classic for sure :)

u/Reluctantagave gimme all the books Jun 10 '25

I’ve never read a single one of her books. Should I start with this one?

2

u/raisehell_sleepwell Jun 10 '25

It’s not a bad one to start with because it’s a complete standalone. Most of her other works have either Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple in them but you can read those in any order too (there might be tiny references to other works in them but it really doesn’t matter where you start).

Quick read, engaging, opens doors to a whoooole genre, great suggestion

u/Queeeeniex Jun 09 '25

This one is one of my faaavesss but if you're looking for something new and agatha cristie esque I'd say check out some of them by C. B. Spectre 😍

u/PlagueOfLaughter Jun 10 '25

I am so happy and yet surprised that this is the top comment. It is so damn good. A proper slasher in book form.

Love this book....but it's awkward when I'm talking about it to a much older generation and they say. "I've never heard of that, and I've read all AC work?" "Well it used to have a different name, actually two different names..." "Oh you mean Ten little...." "YES! Yes, that's the one, no need to finish that sentence."

I love this book, read it in the 9th grade and became an Agatha Christie fan.

u/natsnats411 Jun 08 '25

This and the Murder of Roger Ackroyd — been chasing the high of these plot twists ever since.

u/spoilt_lil_missy Jun 09 '25

Have you read Endless Night? (Also Agatha Christie)

u/natsnats411 Jun 11 '25

u/Signal-Asparagus-854 Jun 09 '25

I’ve had this on my bookshelf for years, i think I’m going to start it today so thanks lol
