Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot

Cozy dark gray house and outbuilding set against green vergeIt’s an understatement to say that Agatha Christie was a prolific mystery author.   Her Miss Marple series spans over forty years and the Hercule Poirot cycle, over fifty years.  The lists below do not include plays and short stories.  This is a list for reference purposes; although I’ve read most Miss Marple, too many years have passed for me to review the stories.

I have not read any Poirot but have seen a few movies made from the book.
