forget the Bahamas, have you been to the home of Agatha Christie. The online home, I mean. The site that says "home of Agatha Christie" at the top. It's got so many resources - FIRST, you have a complete and comprehensive list of not only the murder mysteries she wrote, but the plays, the short stories, and the un-murder mysteries (eg, Mary Westmacott). You can filter these by detective, and you can also filter them by A-Z or first published. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you can DOWNLOAD A HERCULE POIROT READING LIST or a Miss Marple reading list, OR A COMPLETE AGATHA CHRISTIE READING LIST!
It gets better. They have multiple reading lists. Some way more personalized ones, some way more quirky ones, and some way more cool ones.
You can also look through the film and TV section, which is exactly what you'd expect, a full list of all the adaptions made so far. You can also visit their YouTube channel. What they do there, and whether it's as cool and helpful as their website, I have no idea.
There is also a list of characters that she has in her stories. I was surprised to find that Inspector Japp, Superintendent Battle, Captain Hastings, and Colonel Race aren't on there. I thought for sure they'd make the list before Harley Quin or Parker Pyne did because they're such notable, well-known characters. At least in Colonel Race's case, since he actually has (what, four?) books where he stars as the detective.
And at the very bottom you can sign up for their newsletter.
Come, see, and conquer the world of Agatha Christie, you won't regret it.
