Murder at the Vicarage and Sleeping Murder are good..
I love Tommy and Tuppence's first book, The Secret Adversary.. Its a little different with all the espionage and a dash of romance. I must say I'm partial to Poirot and his little gray cells.. (Haven't seen any of the TV or movie adaptions though) Some that I absolutely love are And Then There Were None, Crooked House, Evil Under the Sun, The Mysterious Affair at Styles.. But my favourite.. Sad Cypress... I just love Elinor Carlisle's character. |

I love Poirot both book and TV-wise, David Suchet is so wonderfully, deliciosly obnoxious and selfcentered in a nice way on the TV-series.
And likewise the book character. |

I take it 'Passenger to Frankfurt' won't be in the poll?
(On account of it being one of the worst books ever written.) |

I love all the Miss Marple ones, but my favorite is Sleeping Murder.

My favorite is The Hollow - a Poirot - for many reasons. It's told from multiple viewpoints of the characters - all unreliable narrators. No Captain Hastings. An overall tone of gloom or foreboding. And the murderer sort of gets away with it - with help. And -- one of the greatest comic characters in a mystery novel - the possibly homicidal mistress of the country house that everyone protects. A chimera of slapstick comedy with Greek tragedy.
