Black Coffee

[chiangmaifalcon]

I have never read an Agatha Christie mystery, since I like mostly stories with action and tough guys, but I did find a book at library called Black Coffee which is about Hercule Poirot and so far it is pretty good. It was a play from Agatha Chrtistie but another guy, whose name I cannot think of right now, adapted it into a novel. Perhaps I will read other poirot stories when I am finished with this one.

I love Agatha Christie and to this date I have never guessed 'whodunit'. Enjoy.

For an Agatha newbie, which book should I "de-virginise" myself with?

I'm more of a Poirot fan than Marple. Why not begin at the start with his first book he appeared in The mysterious affair at Styles.

Finished Black Coffee mystery and it was quite enjoyable. It was Agatha Christie play and rewritten as novel by one of the actors in the play. I read that Murder of Roger Ackroyd is considered by many people to be best AC mystery, so I got from library and will check it out.

I love watching the poirot movies, but I've only read like one of the actual books.
BTW, I'm also reading sense, sensibilty, and sea monsters... very weird book.
