This is wonderful to have available.
I am a big fan of Agatha Christie and recently watched a PBS program on her life with David Suchet.
I want to read whatever I have not yet read.
Thanks for this effort.

This is great. I have read most of these and now can track down the missing. Thanks so much.

Looking for the title of one that involves a young girl from England going to visit cousins in Australia and ending up on a sinister sheep ranch. Do you know of this one?
AWESOMe.............VERY USEFUL
I love the list! Thanks! I've rescued many novels of hers from second hand shops, over the years, but never organized them to see which ones I'm missing. I'm surprised you don't have Come,Tell Me How You Live published in 1946, it's one of my favorites. (Even though it's not a mystery novel.)
I am trying to collect all her books and this is unbelievable useful.
Thank you so much!
After first encountering Agatha Christie 45 years ago, when I was loaned a copy Of Mrs McGinty's Dead, I'm now re-reading the books in order, and filling in the gaps. Your list is a tremendous help.
You are missing 13 for luck, 1966
I just am about finished reading all of these books - 4 more to go - this list has been very helpful and reading them in chronological order helped me see the books in the context of what was going on the world. I have also been watching the tv/movie versions of each book to see how story line is changed, characters missing or changed. The most dramatic change is in the book Nemesis. In the book, the murderer is a lesbian who kills the young girl she loved because this girl was going to marry a man. In the TV version this whole aspect of the plot is removed and a nun is the killer for religious reasons as in the TV version the young girl is a nun who decides to leave the order. A very different plot that tries to stay 'politically correct' and ruined the whole mystery. TV / Movie folks - stick with the original plots even if they are not popular with some elements of the society. Historical accuracy is so important.
