Agatha Christie audiobooks in order
Everything Agatha Christie has on this site: 2 series, 45 books published 1920–1976.
Where to start
Hercule Poirot is the longest run here at 33 books, and the usual way in. Almost entirely standalone, so start with a famous one rather than the first. Two real constraints: Curtain must be last, because it is the ending; and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd should be heard before anyone spoils it for you.
