Each series here has its own listening order. Hercule Poirot is the longest, at 33 books. 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.
Series in order
- Miss Marple in order12 books · Varies by title — Emilia Fox, Richard E. Grant and Stephanie Cole read the novels, beside BBC full-cast dramatisations with June Whitfield; Juliet Stevenson reads the short-story collections
Hercule Poirot in order33 books · Varies widely by title — Hugh Fraser reads many of the novels, with David Suchet, Kenneth Branagh, Dan Stevens and full-cast editions alongside
