I have read Styles (my favourite),

Adversary (good thriller),

Murder on the Links,

Man in the Brown Suit,

Poirot Investigates (the best short stories and Early Cases),

Murder of Roger Ackroyd (the classic),

Blue Train, Partners in Crime,

Seven Dials (I liked that and I think it still stands the test of time),

Vicarage,

Peril at End House,

Thirteen Probs (not so good for me),

Lord Edgware Dies,

Death in the Clouds (I love the setting and cover),

1935-40 novels are super.

Buckle my Shoe is a lovely 'home' novel.

After 1960 they get a little harder for me but I liked Halloween Party and Third Girl.

But I found Elephants Can Remember hard, but Sleeping murder good (written in the 40s) and Poirot's Early Cases. Curtain is good too. Couldn't get into Secret of Chimneys, or Mysterious Mr Quin, or Parker Pyne, Cards on the Table-ok, Three Act Tragedy ok, but I must try again. Enjoyed Destination Unknown and Pale Horse and Towards Zero. 

When I first read Mrs McGinty's Dead, I thought and still agree it's a chiller of the book. I must read Crooked House, it's been recommended. I liked her Westmacott novels too.
