I would like to see a list of all Christie's books in order of the year they were published. I can only find them separated by detective, then in alphabetical order.

I printed out the complete list with years a few days ago. Thought it was from this site but a few of the books I own were not on the list..."Thirteen at Dinner" was one of them, a Poirot story that was made into a movie years ago.

I use the Osborne list and the list from the website.  I'm also working on a list that has all of the alternate tittles from the States.  It can be confusing for readers here going to a new bookshop or a used book shop and seeing five plus tittles for the same book.

Hi all,

I wasn't sure if you were able to find them on the site but they do exist. If you go to the Stories & Detective Section, in the left hand side bar there is a title called Stories. Click on this to reveal the reading lists for Christie. This shows the publication dates.

If you type in the name of the short story collection into the search button in the right hand corner, and then click on the title in Stories, the site will bring up a list of the short stories within that collection.

I miss the old site a lot. It was so warm and friendly. Those were good times. Weren't they Tommy?

I have accessed the list, It is apity the list of books can't be obtained the way it couldf in the old site, that to me seemed more practical.

One of my reasons for joining this site was to ask the very question robbob143 asks!I have accessed the Wikipedia page, which is quite useful. It would be good, however, to have a single list which incorporates both novels and short stories - and to outline the titles in the short story collections.

If you are interested in something more than just a chronological list of the stories, you may try the book "The Life and Crimes of Agatha Christie" by Charles Osborne. It's a fascinating book.

Absolutely.  We'll be adding these as soon as possible along with suggested reading lists.

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree with robbob, It would be good if you could access a list like you could with the old site.
