I now have all the Tommy and Tuppence novels and I have read them all. So if anyone has a question about the mystery novels or short stories perhaps I can help.

My top favorites are: Murder on the Orient Express, Death Comes as the End, And Then There Were None, and Crooked House

A few years ago ITV advertised the selling of all her books and so I collected them, this included all the plays and the Autobiography and the books written under the Pseudonym Mary Westmacott, I was very sad to discover that one of the Plays was THE MOUSETRAP, before I just had N or M, Partners in Crime, Seven Dials Mystery, and a few Poirots.

petsu 21 Feb 09 at 12:57 a.m. GMT

I own all of Agatha Christie's detective novels, plus her plays which were made into novels.  They take up most of my bookshelves.  I also have a lovely hardback book about the front cover illustrations of her books.

I've never seen The Mousetrap, although several people I know have seen it, including my husband who saw it before we met.  But no-one has told me whodunnit, bless them, in case I ever do get to see it, and I've never read the play.  Some kind person gave me theatre vouchers for a Christmas present so I think I'll use them to see the Mousetrap. And please don't tell me "who did it" or there might be another murder for Poirot to solve!!

I've read all the books but still read them as I can't always remember who did the dirty deed, but they're always fun to read,

((ok 1st off, i goofed on my previous post and wrote nancy atherton twice, i meant to type donna andrews, sorry)) I just got "The Mousetrap and Other Plays" Monday, at an used bookstore (I love used bookstores, without them I'd be more broke than I am) I'm hoping for a non-busy, rainy day so I can curl up with it! It has "10 Little Indians", "Appointment with Death", "The Hollow", "The Mousetrap", "Witness for the Prosecution", "Towards Zero", "Verdict", and "Go Back for Murder". I own the well known plays i.e. "The Mousetrap", and the novels that were originally novels i.e. "Towards Zero", but PLAYS of those, how cool is that? I was THRILLED! My son was with me and he was SHOCKED that there was an AC that mom didn't own at one time or another *LOL* (he got a couple Bradbury's btw, he's a BIG fan of Ray's) I also managed to pick up a Donna Andrews' Meg Lanslow book and NINE Erle Stanley Gardner's (well one is A. A. Fair) A few of them had a 35 cent cover price! Suffice it to say, I was in hog heaven:) Someone must have pulled early Spring Cleaning.

susandiane 14 Feb 09 at 9:26 p.m. GMT

I own most of Agatha's mysteries. I don't know WHICH ones tho, they're spread all over the house. I also have almost all the Ngaio Marsh's Alleyn. I DO have all of Conan-Doyles' Holmes & Dorothy Sayers' Peter Wimsey. I have tons of Sharon Mccrumb, Nancy Atherton, Jill Churchill, Nancy Atherton, Emily Brightwell, Monica Ferris, Isaac Asimov... I actually had a problem in Navy housing, they said my books were a FIRE hazard! *LOL* My kids are BETTER off with all these books! Heavens be praised, they CAN read:)
