Question

What is your favourite Agatha Christie novel? Why? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

My favorite Agatha Christie novel is ought to be "Mysterious affair at styles".

Christie wrote the book largely as a result of a challenge from her older sister, and boy did she write it. According to my opinion, this is a classic. Firstly it deals with poisons, which, to those days vocabularies, were unreal. Secondly, you see, it has a lucrative style of writing, which was lacking at those times.

I consider it to be a revolution in its field, and yes, of course, my favorite.

P.S: Feluda won't hurt at times.

It's been a while since I saw you.

Answer 2

Assalamualaikum

bulldozed through a hefty chunk of the Poirot novels and short stories on our recent vacation (easy to do poolside, let me tell you). Of those — bearing in mind I still have a lot of the Christie bibliography to get through — my favorite was “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.”

Without giving away the ending (and anyone who’s read it knows what I mean anyway), it has one of the most … elegant conclusions I’ve come across in mystery fiction. It all suddenly comes together, and there’s no sense of having been “had” or tricked or cheated, as with some “twist” endings; she comes by it honestly, it just doesn’t occur to people to have had, ahem, that broad of a suspects list. It’s one of the few mysteries I’ve read where I immediately wanted to reread it, to see what I’d missed and see how the conclusion was woven into the writing the whole time.
