Yes, I agree with you. "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" is an excellent way into Christie, as is "And Then There Were None" (aka "Ten Little Niggers" or "Ten Little Indians", depending upon the political correctness of the time of publication). This latter book is, it's interesting to note, the best selling mystery book of all time.
