What's my favorite Agatha Christie?
I like pretty much any story that features Jane Marple. Remember how A.G. had two novels that she stipulated would not be released until after her death? One was Curtain featuring Hercule Poirot, and the other was Sleeping Murder featured Miss Marple. The Poirot novel was released first. I'm not going to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn't read it yet, but it did frighten me into thinking that she had a similar fate planned for Jane. I was relieved after reading it that she chose a different path for Miss Marple.
In addition to Marple and Poirot, some of her Harley Quin short stories had their moments as well.
She was my mother's favorite author.
