Short stories or full length novels? I do like revisiting AC every now and then. They’re nice palate cleansers in between all the other reading I do. I do want to re-read her standalones at some point - it’s been a while and I’ve forgotten the plots for some of them.

Both. Mostly full length novels but I'll read some of her short stories as well.

It is. I read it for the first time in I think 9th grade English. Damn it was hard to put down.

I've actually read just one book of AC quite a long time ago, 'cause I found the book at home. It was "A Pocketful of Rye" from the Miss Marple series, and I really loved it!

If you read a Marple book and loved it, you’re more than primed to read AC smiley36

. Poirot is like kindergarten AC imo - not in terms of the writing but in terms of how easy it is to get into the books. Marple - you need to graduate into smiley36

. Also her other books like Tommy and Tuppence, Parker Pyne, Harley Quin etc.

My first AC was Body in the Library which was a Marple book back when I was in 7th or 8th grade. I don’t remember loving it. Then I went on to the Poirot stuff and then when I returned to Marple - I found I loved them much more than the Poirot books.
